Using the MITRE ATT&CK Framework to Boost Ransomware Defenses
Using the MITRE ATT&CK Framework to Boost Ransomware Defenses
16 PagesThe MITRE ATT&CK framework offers a structured way to strengthen ransomware defenses by mapping attacker behaviors across campaigns like REvil and Conti. This white paper explains how ATT&CK helps organizations detect key ransomware techniques such as data encryption for impact (T1486) and inhibiting system recovery (T1490). It highlights detection methods including process, kernel driver, cloud, and file monitoring, and discusses the value of ransomware simulators like Ransim and Shinolocker for testing defenses. By aligning security efforts with ATT&CK, organizations can better identify, monitor, and defend against ransomware activity.
