Threat Hunting with the MITRE ATT&CK Framework

Course Category : Cyber Security

An advanced programme for strengthening threat hunting capabilities through MITRE ATT&CK, adversary behaviour analysis, hunting hypotheses, and systematic mapping of security evidence to attacker tactics and techniques.
Duration: 5 Days | Level: Advanced

Introduction

Advanced cyber threats require organisations to move beyond alert-driven monitoring toward proactive investigation of potentially malicious behaviour across enterprise environments. The MITRE ATT&CK Framework provides a structured knowledge base for understanding adversary behaviour across different stages of an intrusion and enables security teams to develop behaviour-based hunting approaches.
This course examines threat hunting methodologies, hunting hypothesis development, adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), and the systematic use of MITRE ATT&CK to assess security coverage, identify detection gaps, and strengthen organisational threat detection, analysis, and response capabilities..
