Where It Sits in the Scheme
5 ASOM-Fed techniques reach this countermeasure, across 4 forms of maneuver.
This is the direction the forward mapping cannot answer. A reader who works in D3FEND arrives holding D3-ANCI and needs to know where it is employed in a scheme of maneuver — not which of MITRE's tactics it belongs to, which they already know.
Reached By
- M2.12 Secrets ManagementM2 Defense in Depth · T4 Applications and Workloads
Remove long-lived secrets from code, images and configuration into brokered, rotated, audited storage.
- M3.11 Session and Token Revocation PathM3 Envelopment · T1 Identity
Maintain a tested path to invalidate sessions and tokens estate-wide within a stated interval.
- M6.04 Session Duration Reduction Under AlertM6 Delay · T1 Identity
Shorten session and token lifetimes automatically while the estate is in contact.
- M8.02 Estate-Wide Session RevocationM8 Isolation / Retrograde · T1 Identity
Invalidate every session and token across the estate as one action when the identity plane is in doubt.
- M8.14 Rapid Offboarding and RevocationM8 Isolation / Retrograde · T7 Workforce
Remove all access from a departing or suspended person in one action, in a time measured against the tempo an insider needs.
Forms That Arrive Here
A countermeasure reached from more than one form is employed more than one way. D3FEND has no notion of a form, so this join exists only here.
- M2 Defense in DepthThe formEnsure no single failure is decisive.
- M3 EnvelopmentThe formMake identity, not network location, the decisive plane — surround the adversary with policy.
- M6 DelayThe formBuy decision time and prevent the adversary culminating on the objective.
- M8 Isolation / RetrogradeThe formGive ground deliberately to preserve the force. Degrade gracefully; never fail open.
What This Does Not Claim
That a technique reaches a D3FEND countermeasure says the two describe the same defensive act. It does not say the countermeasure is deployed, configured, or working — that is an assessment finding about your estate, not a property of the framework.
MITRE's own entry for this technique is at d3fend.mitre.org, and it is the authority on what the countermeasure is. This page is the authority only on where it sits in ASOM-Fed.
