What It Does
Shorten session and token lifetimes automatically while the estate is in contact.
Observable indicator. Session lifetimes contract on phase change without an outage.
Where It Sits
A technique is chosen from inside a form and emplaced on one layer. Both are the catalog’s own declarations; the position is counted in catalog order.
- Form of maneuverM6 DelayBuy decision time and prevent the adversary culminating on the objective.
- Terrain layerT1 IdentityThe high ground. Key terrain: The ICAM policy decision point, privileged accounts, external-user and mission-staff identities.
- Position in the form4 of 10M6 carries 10 cataloged techniques; this is the 4th in catalog order.
Phases It Is Employed In
Employed in 2 of the campaign’s six phases. A phase named here means at least this technique is live in it — not that the form it belongs to is the main effort.
- Phase IISeize InitiativeDetect early, canalize movement, and buy decision time.
- Phase IIIDominateHunt, contain, evict.
Controls That Assess It
The controls the catalog names against this technique. They are what an assessor would test to establish that it is emplaced and working — the indicator above is what shows it is working, which is a different question.
- TA-4 Pre-authorized ResponseTempo and Temporal Advantage — To remove authority latency from the decision loop, so that the segment most programs cannot shorten with tooling is shortened by governance.
- CG-2 Phase DeclarationCommand and Governance — To make "we are in Phase III" a sentence that changes behavior, rather than a label applied to a state of affairs.
- ID-4 Identity Assertion ProtectionIdentity Terrain — To prevent a valid authentication from becoming a durable, portable credential in an adversary's hands.
In MITRE D3FEND
What this technique is called in MITRE’s countermeasure ontology. The join runs technique-to-technique: D3FEND catalogs countermeasures, and the thing with a countermeasure’s shape here is the technique, not the control.
- D3-SDA Session Duration AnalysisDetect tactic
- D3-ANCI Authentication Cache InvalidationEvict tactic
- D3-ST Session TerminationEvict tactic
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.
Related Techniques
The catalog declares no relation for this entry, and no other entry names it — the inverse is derived here, so an incoming edge would show up even though this one never declared it. The techniques below share its assessment surface, which is the nearest adjacency the data supports.
Assessed Alongside
Not a declared relation: these are the techniques whose assessing controls overlap this one’s, ranked by how much of the two assessment surfaces coincide. Showing 6 of 19 that share at least one control.
