Release of Azure Threat Research Matrix!

Current problem: When performing an offensive security assessment, it’s common to find the assessment team attribute their actions to the MITRE ATT&CK knowledge base. /Thread #Azure

They do that so high-level stakeholders can visually see what techniques were successful and administrators & defenders can understand the techniques that were performed to remediate or defend against them in the future.

However, the commonly utilized MITRE knowledge base lacks formal documentation of Azure or AzureAD-related tactics, techniques, or procedures (TTPs) that assessment teams can attribute to.

Over the past year, Microsoft has worked with some of the top Azure security researchers to create the Azure Threat Research Matrix (ATRM).

#Azure Threat Research Matrix provides details on the tactics & techniques a potential adversary may use to compromise an Azure Resource or Azure Active Directory.

So, what is Azure Threat Research Matrix (#ATRM)?

It is a knowledge base built to document known TTPs within Azure and Azure AD. The goal of ATRM is:

  1. To give security professionals an easily viewable framework to better visualize TTPs within Azure & Azure AD.
  2. Educate professionals about the potential configuration risks that accompany Azure & Azure AD when not following best practices.
