The cybersecurity industry has embraced MITRE ATT&CK for good reason: it provides security leaders and practitioners an objective, third-party standard with which to evaluate their own detection coverage and EDR solutions. But even while they recognize the value, many organizations are unsure about what specific steps they should take to fully benefit from MITRE ATT&CK.
