ATT&CK® Fundamentals Badge

MITRE ATT&CK® subject matter experts continuously develop the training and mastery assessment built for the ATT&CK® Fundamentals Badge. Their focus is to validate a defender's ability to understand the ATT&CK framework (the data along with the philosophy that has shaped ATT&CK) as well as recognize how ATT&CK can be applied to operational challenges/opportunities. The ATT&CK® Fundamentals Badge validates that a defender: • Understands what knowledge is and isn't captured within ATT&CK • Understands how and why ATT&CK evolves • Can manipulate and extend ATT&CK to meet tailored needs Meet the training and mastery assessment author: Jamie Williams Lead Cyber Adversarial Engineer at MITRE Jamie Williams is a Cyber Adversarial Engineer for the MITRE Corporation.
