SebDB & MITRE ATT&CK

The MITRE ATT&CK framework is used by security teams around the world to map how real attackers operate. It breaks down the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) adversaries use to achieve their goals — from initial access to impact.

If you're working to reduce human cyber risk, ATT&CK can help you connect your work to real threats in a way that’s specific, credible, and actionable.

Here’s how:

    It connects behavior to threat intelligence

    When you link risky behaviors (like clicking a phishing link or ignoring a suspicious login) to specific techniques in ATT&CK, you show how your interventions disrupt real adversary actions. This isn't theoretical. It's directly tied to how attackers succeed or fail.

    It makes your work more specific

    Instead of saying you reduce "phishing risk," you can show that you're targeting the Initial Access (TA0001) tactic, which covers how adversaries typically try to get into your network, often using phishing as a common method. That's the level CISOs, red teams, and threat intel professionals are working at; aligning to it makes your work more relevant and harder to dismiss.

    It puts behavior into the kill chain

    Many attacker techniques rely on human behavior: clicking, downloading, submitting credentials, ignoring alerts. By influencing those behaviors, you're disrupting the attacker's path. ATT&CK helps you prove that.

    It helps you speak the same language as technical teams

    Red teams, SOC analysts, detection engineers — they all use ATT&CK. When you align to the same framework, collaboration becomes easier, and your work is seen as part of the broader defense strategy, not just awareness or comms.

    It sharpens your priorities

    ATT&CK gives you a data-driven way to identify which human behaviors are most likely to be exploited in real-world attacks. That helps you focus your efforts where they’ll have the biggest impact.

Bottom line?

Using MITRE ATT&CK to frame your human risk work shows that you're not just improving culture; you're helping stop real attacks. You’re part of the defensive playbook. And when you can point to attacker techniques that your interventions disrupt, it changes how your work is valued.

SebDB helps you do just that — linking specific behaviors to attacker tactics so you can prioritise, intervene, and prove impact with clarity.

You're not just ticking training boxes. You're helping defend the organization, and frameworks like ATT&CK help you show exactly how.
