Summiting the Pyramid
Many analytics are dependent on specific tools or artifacts. Adversaries can easily evade these with low-cost changes that exploit the dependencies. This project has developed a method to evaluate analytics relative to the adversary’s cost to evade. We further created approaches and tips for defenders to make their analytics less evadable. We demonstrated the methodology with a core set of analytics.
