Broadcom Exam 250-580 Topic 3 Question 1 Discussion

The MITRE ATT&CK Matrix consists of Tactics and Techniques. Tactics represent the 'why' or goals behind each step of an attack, while Techniques represent the 'how,' describing the specific methods adversaries use to achieve their objectives. Together, they form a comprehensive framework for understanding and categorizing attacker behavior.

Structure of the MITRE ATT&CK Matrix:

Tactics: High-level objectives attackers seek to achieve (e.g., initial access, execution, persistence).

Techniques: Specific methods used to accomplish each tactic (e.g., phishing, credential dumping).

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

Problems and Solutions (Option A) do not capture the functional structure of ATT&CK.

Attackers and Techniques (Option B) lacks the tactics component.

Entities and Tactics (Option D) does not describe ATT&CK's approach to categorizing attacker actions.
