It’s clear that the MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK is a dead testing criteria / evaluation and more about gaming the scores. MITRE ATT&CK however is still an amazing framework for evaluating coverage and effectiveness. Lots of great things there still even if Engenuity is a hot mess.

most of my career has been weathering this reaction tbh. I’ve long agreed with @argvee’s answer that the cybersecurity industry shouldn’t exist, because it needs to be solved in design/arch. I also think the industry will resist Secure by Design/Default for this very reason…
What's your unpopular cybersecurity opinion that gets a reaction like this?

Mandiant’s COSMICENERGY report shows that the IEC-104 module ”LIGHTWORK” sets the output to OFF at the following hardcoded addresses (IOAs): ❌ 34 ❌ 84 ❌ 134 ❌ 184 ❌ 234 ❌ 284 ❌ 334 ❌ 384 These IOAs might be power line switches, circuit breakers or something else.
We just released a new @Mandiant #OT #blog on #COSMICENERGY: New OT Malware Possibly Related To Russian Emergency Response Exercises mandiant.com/resources/blog/…

Snuck in a hiking mini-break before ICSJWG in SLC, I got into Kodachrome Basin State Park (underrated & few people), Bryce Canyon NP (amazing, but crowded until remote trails), & will try Willis Creek Slot Canyon today before driving up to SLC. See many of you tomorrow.

Seth blog & S4 seths.blog/2021/10/crowding-… "Very few things scale forever. The hardest moment to stop scaling our work is the moment when it’s working the best. And that’s precisely the moment when we need to have the guts to stop making it bigger." 1000 is next S4 decision point

Funny you pulled this 2021 tweet. We it this decision point at S4x23 last February. We decided to stay at the 1000 ticket limit for S4x24, although this was driven by the venue limitations more than anything else. Now we start to think about what is the ideal mix for the 1K.

We are absolutely stoked to finally share videos from CYBERWARCON ‘22! We took heavy losses to the lawyers, so almost half of the talks won’t be available online. The only way to see everything is to attend! 1/2 youtube.com/@cyberwarcon
