Where It Sits in the Scheme

2 ASOM-Fed techniques reach this countermeasure, across 2 forms of maneuver.

This is the direction the forward mapping cannot answer. A reader who works in D3FEND arrives holding D3-NTA 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

• M4.08 Instrumented Corridor DesignM4 Obstacle / Canalization · T3 Networks

  Deliberately leave the paths you want an adversary to take, and instrument them heavily.

• M7.01 Hypothesis-Driven HuntingM7 Counterattack · TX Cross-Cutting

  Hunt against stated hypotheses drawn from the intelligence requirements, not against whatever the queue surfaced.

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.

• M4 Obstacle / CanalizationThe formForce the adversary onto ground you own and watch.
• M7 CounterattackThe formSeize the initiative and evict before the adversary reaches the objective.

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.
