Summiting the Pyramid v2

December 17, 2024

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.

This is an old version of the Summiting the Pyramid project. For the latest version, see: Summiting the Pyramid.

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.
