I am in Philadelphia this week attending @USENIXSecurity! I will be presenting our paper “How does Endpoint Detection use the MITRE ATT&CK Framework?” Details in thread ⬇️ #usesec24
Upcoming at @USENIXSecurity’24 — In (academic) systems security research, name checking @MITREattack has been the “peer review armor” of choice for a lot of work recently. But do these papers understand what ATT&CK is(n’t)? What about commercial products?
