Where It Sits in the Scheme
4 ASOM-Fed techniques reach this countermeasure, across 3 forms of maneuver.
This is the direction the forward mapping cannot answer. A reader who works in D3FEND arrives holding D3-UBA 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
- M1.05 Authentication Geography BaselineM1 Screen / Guard · T1 Identity
Baseline where, when and from what the population legitimately authenticates, so deviation is measurable rather than anecdotal.
- M3.17 Authentication Anomaly ScoringM3 Envelopment · T1 Identity
Score authentication against the behavioral baseline and feed the score back into the policy decision point.
- M7.01 Hypothesis-Driven HuntingM7 Counterattack · TX Cross-Cutting
Hunt against stated hypotheses drawn from the intelligence requirements, not against whatever the queue surfaced.
- M7.15 Insider Risk InvestigationM7 Counterattack · T7 Workforce
Run a defined, rights-respecting process to resolve an insider indication, rather than improvising one under pressure.
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.
- M1 Screen / GuardThe formGain early warning and buy reaction time before the adversary touches key terrain.
- M3 EnvelopmentThe formMake identity, not network location, the decisive plane — surround the adversary with policy.
- 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.
