This document discusses validating ATT&CK techniques using endpoint detection and response (EDR) telemetry. It describes how Red Canary analyzes EDR data to validate coverage of ATT&CK techniques. An automated workflow is used that involves deploying test infrastructure, running atomic red team tests, and analyzing results to identify any mismatches between expected and actual telemetry. Challenges with EDR telemetry quality and level of detail are also outlined. The key benefits of the approach are validating at scale and offloading detections from endpoints while providing behavioral context.

"Modern security teams have been engineering solid detections for a while now. All this great output also needs to be managed well.
* How can we make sure that the detections we have spent a lot of time developing are deployed and are running in production in the same way as they were designed?
* How can we assure our detection and prevention controls are still working and are detecting the attacks they have been designed to cover?
We will show how we have built a robust and flexible development and deployment process using cloud technnologies. This process allows us to quickly and easily implement new detection controls, test them across multiple environments, and deploy them in a controlled and consistent manner.
We will discuss how security teams can reap the benefits of using detection-as-code, and how this can help achieving a single source of truth for their detection logic. Adopting this approach enables teams to use automation and unit testing to manage and validate their detection controls across multiple environments and ensure proper documentation. By adopting a detection-as-code approach, teams can gain the confidence that comes from knowing that their detections and mitigations work as intended."

How many times have you added MITRE ATT&CK techniques to the end of a report and thought you could be doing more? Even though ATT&CK has become an industry standard for cyber threat intelligence reporting, all too often, techniques are thrown at the bottoms of reports and blogs without any context never to be seen again after dissemination. This is not useful for intelligence producers or consumers. Avast ye maties! Within this presentation, we are going to show analysts how they can use ATT&CK as a guideline for creating a contextual knowledge base for adversary tracking. Gone are the days of floundering about looking for information collected about a specific adversary or behavior. Gone are the days of wondering why the rum and context are always gone.

Cloud native computing has fundamentally changed traditional security methodologies and attack surfaces. This new architectural approach combines new operational tools and services like continuous integration, container engines, and orchestrators. Some organizations struggle to identify and respond to threats they specifically face when running cloud native workloads.
Perimeter-centric security evangelizes defense-in-depth or the onion model to implement different layers of defense. Cloud native security hyper-focuses on four unique layers: Cloud, Clusters, Containers, and Code.
Today's defenders have to look across several existing ATT&CK matrices including Linux Enterprise, Containers, Kubernetes, and IaaS to holistically evaluate and model threats or attack paths across the four distinct layers of cloud native workloads.
In conclusion, we will discuss some of the challenges facing threat modeling cloud native workloads, including showing how to leverage several different ATT&CK matrices to create a distinct Cloud Native Workload ATT&CK matrix. The creation of this matrix will help defenders take the guesswork out of identifying what tactics serve as potential threats against a cloud native workload in order to enhance their defensive baseline and detection coverage.

Building on the work from these two great communities, we smashed (scientific-term) the attacks and analytics together and applied data science to analyze the results. We'll describe our methodology and testing framework, show the real-world MITRE ATT&CK coverage and gaps, discuss our algorithms for calculating analytic similarity, identifying log sources for a technique, and determining the best analytics to deploy that maximizes ATT&CK coverage.
This project aims to:
- Bring a measurable testing rigor to community analytics to improve adoption
- Test every analytic against every attack, validating the true positive detection
- Understand the log sources required to detect specific attack techniques
- Apply data science to identify analytic similarity (reduce community duplication)
- Identify gaps between the projects' analytics without attack simulations; attack simulations without detections; missing or incorrect MITRE ATT&CK labels, etc
- Automate the process so insights can stay up to date with new attack/analytic contributions over time

When it comes to understanding and tracking intrusion tradecraft, security teams must have the tools and processes that allow the mapping of hands-on adversary tradecraft. Doing this enables your team to both understand the adversaries and attacks you currently see and observe how these adversaries and attacks evolve over time. This session will explore how a threat hunting team uses MITRE ATT&CK to understand and categorize adversary activity. The team will demonstrate how threat hunters map ATT&CK TTPs by showcasing a recent interactive intrusion against a Linux endpoint and how the framework allowed for granular tracking of tradecraft and enhanced security operations. They will also take a look into the changes in the Linux activity they have observed over time, using the ATT&CK navigator to compare and contrast technique usage. This session will provide insights into how we use MITRE ATT&CK as a powerful resource to track intrusion tradecraft, identify adversary trends, and prepare for attacks of the future.

With the development of the MITRE ATT&CK framework and its categorization of adversary activity during the attack cycle, understanding what to hunt for has become easier and more efficient than ever. However, organizations are still struggling to understand how they can prioritize the development of hunt hypothesis, assess their current security posture, and develop the right analytics with the help of ATT&CK. Even though there are several ways to utilize ATT&CK to accomplish those goals, there are only a few that are focusing primarily on the data that is currently being collected to drive the success of a hunt program.
This presentation shows how organizations can benefit from mapping their current visibility from a data perspective to the ATT&CK framework. It focuses on how to identify, document, standardize and model current available data to enhance a hunt program. It presents an updated ThreatHunter-Playbook, a Kibana ATT&CK dashboard, a new project named Open Source Security Events Metadata known as OSSEM and expands on the “data sources” section already provided by ATT&CK on most of the documented adversarial techniques.

The purpose of this session will be to look at how you can take public information about threat actors, vulnerabilities, and incidents and use them to build better defenses, utilizing ATT&CK along the way to align your security organization to the people and assets that matter.
Stories are critical to how humans learn, so this session will leverage a story book approach to give the audience some ideas on approaches they could use. Tim will take the audience through 3 real world examples where he has leveraged ATT&CK to drive operational improvement. The premise of each story will be real, although some of the details will be apocryphal to protect the innocent.
One story will focus on defending a network, one will look at adversary detection, while the final one will look at responding to an active attack and in each case, Tim will guide the audience to think about the kinds of data sources that ATT&CK tracks, that they might call upon to achieve a successful outcome.

Many organizations ask: "Where do I start, and where do I go next" when prioritizing implementation of behavior-based detections? We often hear "use threat intelligence!" but your goals must be qualified and quantified in order to properly prioritize the most relevant TTPs. A wealth of open-sourced, ATT&CK-mapped resources now exists, giving security teams greater access to both detections and red team tests they can implement, but intelligence (also aligned with ATT&CK), is essential to provide necessary context to ensure that detection efforts are focused effectively.
This session will discuss a new approach to the prioritization challenge, starting with an analysis of the current defensive landscape, as measured by ATT&CK coverage for more than a dozen detection repositories and technologies, and guidance on sourcing TTP intelligence. The team will then show how real-world defensive strategies can be strengthened by encompassing a full-spectrum view of threat detection, including the implementation of YARA, Sigma, and Snort in security appliances. Critically, alignment of both intelligence and defenses with ATT&CK enables defenders to move the focus of detection efforts to indications of malicious behavior before the final payload is deployed, where controls are most effective at preventing serious damage to the organization.

Abstract:
How do you find malicious activity? We often resort to the cliche, you know it when you see it, but how do you even see it, without drowning in data? MITRE’s ATT&CK knowledge base organizes adversary behavior into tactics and techniques, and orients our approach to endpoint data. It suggests questions that might be worth asking, but not a way to ask them. The Event Query Language (EQL) allows a security analyst to naturally express queries for IOC search, hunting, and behavioral detections, while remaining platform and data source agnostic.
In this talk, I will demonstrate the iterative process of establishing situational awareness in your environment, creating targeted detections, and hunting for the adversary in your environment with real data, queries, and results.

Speaker: Leo Yan
Track: Training
★ Session Summary ★
For most cases we can easily debug with kernel's oops dumping info, but sometimes we need to know more information for program execution flow before the issue happens. So we can rely on two tracing methods to reproduce the program execution flow, one method is using software tracing which is kernel's pstore method; another method is to rely on Coresight hardware tracing, this method also can avoid extra workload introduced by tracing itself. Coresight has provided two mechanisms for Postmortem debugging, one method is Coresight CPU debug module so we can extract CPU program counter info, this is quite straightforward to debug CPU lockup issue; Another is Coresight panic kdump, we connect kernel kdump mechanism to extract Coresight tracing data so we can reproduce the last execution flow before panic (even hang issue with some tweaking in kernel). This session wants to go through these topics and demonstrate the debugging tools on 96boards Hikey in 25 minutes session.

Monitoring as Code: Getting to Monitoring-Driven Development - DEV314 - re:In...Amazon Web Services
“Infrastructure as Code” has changed not only how we think about configuring infrastructure, but about the infrastructure itself. AWS has been at the core of this movement, enabling your infrastructure teams to benefit from software engineering best practices such as CI/CD, automated testing, and repeatable deployments. Now that you have mastered the art of managing your infrastructure as code, it’s time to leverage these same lessons for monitoring and metrics. In this session, we dive into how you can leverage tooling such as AWS, Terraform, and Datadog to programmatically define your monitoring so that you that you can scale your organizational observability along with your infrastructure, and attain consistency from local development all the way through production.
Session sponsored by Datadog, Inc.

RSA 2018: Adventures in the Underland: Techniques against Hackers Evading the...Paula Januszkiewicz
Cybercrime is a very lucrative business not just because of the potential financial return, but because it’s quite easy to get away with it. Sometimes hackers get caught, but most of the time they still run free. When it comes to operating systems and after-attack traces, it is not that bad as all traces are gathered in one place—your infrastructure.
Even though hackers use techniques to remain on the loose, it is possible by using forensic techniques to gather evidence in order to demonstrate what actually happened. During this super intense session, Paula demonstrated techniques used by hackers to hide traces and forensic techniques that indicate how these activities were performed. Extremely technical session!

Similar to Tidying up your Nest: Validating ATT&CK Technique Coverage using EDR Telemetry (20)
Dealing With ATT&CK's Different Levels Of DetailMITRE ATT&CK
From ATT&CKcon 4.0
By Tareq AlKhatib, Lacework, Inc
"ATT&CK serves as the central language for CTI practitioners, Detection Engineers, Red Teamers, and more. Despite the benefit of having a central language, ATT&CK offers different levels of detail that might be useful for one team but not others. This paper points out some of these differences in the level of details available in ATT&CK, especially from the point of view of Detection Engineers, and focused on detection coverage.
In summary, while ATT&CK does not define the Procedure level of the TTP trinity, it is still useful to define the “Degrees of Freedom” an attacker has within a technique. Some techniques only have a limited number of possible Procedures, some techniques might have more, and others might be so open ended that they offer an unlimited number of possible procedures per technique. We examine this concept on both the Technique and Tactic levels and make the argument that techniques that have a high number of possible Procedures cannot be covered by Detection Engineers.
At the conference, we intend to release an ATT&CK Navigator layer to help Detection Engineers quickly filter out which Tactics and Techniques they need to focus on and which ones they simply cannot cover."
Automating testing by implementing ATT&CK using the Blackboard ArchitectureMITRE ATT&CK
From ATT&CKcon 4.0
By Jeremy Straub, NDSU Cybersecurity Institute

The presentation will start with a quick summary of the concept behind this and then present a few implementation examples.
I can haz cake: Benefits of working with MITRE on ATT&CKMITRE ATT&CK
From ATT&CKcon 4.0
By Tim Wadhwa-Brown, Cisco
The purpose of this session will be to look at how the linux-malware repo came to take shape and how we've used it to inform our view on adversarial behaviour over the last couple of years. Since the original reason for staring this project was to look at Linux coverage in ATT&CK, we'll play back some of the interesting points and reflect on how they've affected ATT&CK itself.
ATT&CK’s Adoption in CTI: A Great Success (with Room to Grow!)MITRE ATT&CK
From ATT&CKcon 4.0
By Scott Small, Tidal Cyber
This metrics- and meme-based lightning session spotlights the success story that is the CTI industry’s impressive (and expanding) adoption of ATT&CK in their products. Using nearly 6 years’ worth of ATT&CK-mapped, public threat reports collected from government, vendor, & independent sources, we’ll show how the rate (and detail) of mapping has increased considerably, while showcasing (anonymized) examples of high-quality end-products, with the aim of inspiring further ATT&CK adoption in this important corner of the field.
Using ATT&CK to created wicked actors in real dataMITRE ATT&CK
From ATT&CKcon 4.0
By Simeon Kakpovi and Greg Schloemer, KC7 Foundation
"KC7 uses an experiential learning pedagogy to teach cybersecurity analysis to students of all levels, from elementary school all the way to industry professionals. In the KC7 experience, students analyze realistic cybersecurity data and answer a series of CTF-style questions that guide them through an investigative journey.
In order to generate authentic intrusion data, we create a fictional company that is attacked by cyber threat actors. The attributes and behaviors of these actors are defined via yaml configurations that are modeled based on MITRE ATT&CK categories and techniques. For example, we can granularly define what techniques an attacker uses for initial access or lateral movement, and how the actor explicitly uses those techniques.
Students that effectively analyze KC7 intrusion data can map the observed activity to the various stages of the MITRE ATTA&CK framework. Organizing actor definitions around the ATTA&CK framework allows KC7 to create a rich set of intrusion data in various permutations - and ensure that students are exposed to a diverse array of scenarios. A pleasant byproduct of this methodology is that students of MITRE ATT&CK can now study techniques contextually in data rather than just reading about them in reports."
Navigating the Attention Economy – Using MITRE ATT&CK to Communicate to Stake...MITRE ATT&CK
From ATT&CKcon 4.0
By Alexandrea Berninger, Accenture
We live in a world where attention is scarce. And yet we need to communicate complex information effectively to a variety of audiences. This talk will discuss how to cut through the noise of information overload by using MITRE ATT&CK to reach your audience. It will use lessons I have learned from videography, combined with Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) to weave a story around how to think about communicating to your audience when gaining their focus is becoming increasingly difficult. Using current research into focus and attention spans, combined with trends in how people like to obtain information, this talk will recommend paths to building compelling stories with MITRE ATT&CK so that stakeholders can immediately gain value from threat intelligence reports without having to read a full long-form report.
Discussion on Finding Relationships in Cyber DataMITRE ATT&CK
From ATT&CKcon 4.0
By Stephen Johnson and Emma MacMullan, Capital One
Capital One is currently building a Security Graph to tie together various Cyber Teams and their data -- Controls, Objectives, Tools, and Countermeasures, Threats. It is an ambitious project that will help us identify gaps and focus our controls on the most likely and persistent threats. It is a work in progress that is using MITRE ATT&CK and D3FEND as a "lingua franca" to tie together the elements of the graph, so we have a common understanding across the enterprise.
The art of communicating ATT&CK to the CFOMITRE ATT&CK
From ATT&CKcon 4.0
By Phil Davies, Distilled Security
"You have had a pen test, a red team or a threat intelligence report and drawn up a plan for remediation. You have been told you have 15 mins in front of the CFO in 48 hours! How do you show ,on one page, the connection between the techniques you are exposed and vulnerable to, the path of least resistance and the focused control changes required right now?
How will the CFO get the picture so the result is ""I get it, what do you need?""
Understanding ATT&CK as a practitioner is great with the current matrix but it is inaccessible to the CFO. But it doesn't have to be that way.
Phil will chart the journey to improved visualisation of ATT&CK techniques. He will show how the DNA of ATT&CK doesn’t just make ATT&CK accessible for all but that it can be beautiful!"
Or Lenses and Layers: Adding Business Context to Enterprise MappingsMITRE ATT&CK
From ATT&CKcon 4.0
By Andrew Malone
Many use the ATT&CK matrix to map tool coverage across the environment. This blanket coverage is a good baseline but it can miss certain aspects of the enterprise's context like risk levels, organisational priorities, and industry specific threat intelligence. I want to discuss ways to layer these lenses on top of an enterprise mapping to make ATT&CK more relevant to the specific enterprise. If done right this can lead to more actionable metrics and reporting on improvements.
From ATT&CKcon 4.0
By Benjamin Langrill, Security Optimizer
If you tell me an attacker performed OS Credential Dumping, did they dump credentials with meterpreter, recompile mimikatz, or use a custom tool? The technique reference lacks a way to categorize how they performed the action and each type requires its own mitigation. In this talk, Ben Langirll will propose formal adjectives for ATT&CK techniques that map to adversary capabilities and how we can use them to optimize defensive choices.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Lessons learned
39. Telemetry quirks
Signal/noise ratio different for each sensor
○ Lower quality telemetry (i.e. filemods & regmods) can be highly filtered
○ Filemod filtering by process, directory, and file type
File telemetry has inconsistent meaning/terminology
○ What is a filemod?
○ Creation vs. modification
40. Challenges of using EDR telemetry
Level of detail is limited
○ Limited insight into certain types of behaviors like API calls
○ Can’t use static binary signatures outside of a hash
○ Certain telemetry types are limited because they’re noisy
Example: Credential theft
○ Dumping lsass -> good telemetry
○ Application credential theft (e.g. browsers) -> limited/no telemetry
○ EDR sensors are good at generating alerts for this activity
41. Benefits of using EDR telemetry
Offloading detections from endpoints
○ Avoids limitations of analytics on endpoints
○ Highly scalable
○ Adversary can’t see alerts
Versatile representation of behavior
○ Captures context
○ Useful for correlation
42. Key takeaways
EDR telemetry balances signal/noise
Validating ATT&CK techniques using data components scales well
End-to-end functional testing
○ Provides a clear signal when there’s a problem
○ Captures nuances of techniques
Automation allows us to scale validation
Con: EDR telemetry provides a limited level of detail
Pro: EDR telemetry offloads detections from endpoints and
provides context around an alert
