TTP (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures)
TTPs describe the behavior of threat actors: the high-level goals they pursue (tactics), the specific methods they use to achieve those goals (techniques), and the detailed, repeatable actions that implement those methods (procedures). The MITRE ATT&CK framework catalogues TTPs used by real adversaries.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is TTP (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures)?
TTPs describe the behavior of threat actors: the high-level goals they pursue (tactics), the specific methods they use to achieve those goals (techniques), and the detailed, repeatable actions that implement those methods (procedures). The MITRE ATT&CK framework catalogues TTPs used by real adversaries.
How is TTP (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures) related to IOC (Indicator of Compromise)?
TTP (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures) and IOC (Indicator of Compromise) are both key concepts in threat intelligence. An indicator of compromise is an indicator supported by evidence of compromise or malicious activity. Security teams use IOCs to detect, contain, and investigate threats; an arbitrary IP address, domain, URL, file hash, or email address is only an observable until evidence supports that promotion.

IOC (Indicator of Compromise)
An indicator of compromise is an indicator supported by evidence of compromise or malicious activity. Security teams use IOCs to detect, contain, and investigate threats; an arbitrary IP address, domain, URL, file hash, or email address is only an observable until evidence supports that promotion.
MITRE ATT&CK
MITRE ATT&CK is a globally-accessible knowledge base of adversary tactics and techniques based on real-world observations. It is used as a foundation for threat detection, red team exercises, and gap analysis in security programs. The framework covers Enterprise, Mobile, and ICS environments.
