Project Summary
Summiting the Pyramid (STP) creates a methodology to score analytics against the pyramid of pain, helping defenders create more robust detections against adversary behavior. With this update, STP reduces false positives and expands scoring to network-based analytics.
Problem
Adversaries can easily evade cyber analytics that are dependent on specific tools or artifacts.
Solution
Create and apply a methodology to evaluate the dependencies inside analytics and make them more robust by focusing on adversary behaviors.
Impact
Shift the advantage towards defenders with improved analytics that catch adversaries even as they evolve and detect future campaigns.
