Summary
In this chapter, we've discussed what MITRE's ATT&CK framework is all about, and how it can help us describe the behaviors of both adversaries and malware, and how to do so.
Not only does the framework allow us the ability to describe things very succinctly, but it also enables us to further describe the behaviors we are seeing in consistent language with sufficient technical depth for those who may hold an interest in such technical knowledge.
We've also learned how it may enable us to write better reports, and have enough information for everyone involved, from those who may be less technical than us as analysts, to those who will be taking action during or after a security incident caused by a piece of malware we are studying.
The next section focuses on practical, example driven application of the findings from previous parts where we will be looking at the solutions to the previously posted challenges.
