Cyber Wednesday Info Byte #30

Our friends at MITRE have developed a new cybersecurity framework! The D3FEND framework is intended to improve the security of DoD systems by offering a catalog of defensive countermeasures against common attack techniques. Funded by the National Security Agency, this framework is a defensive counterpart to the ATT&CK framework.

“Kill-chain oriented and derived threat models have proved popular and effective. New models like D3FEND must relate to these to ensure rapid uptake by the cyber community and easy integration with existing resources.”https://d3fend.mitre.org/resources/D3FEND.pdf
