The BLADE Framework: The MITRE ATT&CK-style Framework for Bot Attacks

Just as security professionals rely on MITRE ATT&CK to help them understand technical vulnerabilities, the BLADE Framework® is a vital learning tool in the battle against bot attacks like credential stuffing, scraping and scalping.

The BLADE Framework is an open-source educational resource describing a wide range of malicious bot tactics and techniques, developed by the Netacea threat research team with contributions from experts at organizations including Adidas and OVO Energy.

If you’re not already using BLADE, this webinar offers the chance to hear from a core contributor to the project. Cyril Noel-Tagoe explains how businesses can use BLADE to categorize and shut down bot attacks, whilst one of Netacea’s bot experts uses real data to demonstrate how our clients benefit from using the framework to understand bot threats they face daily.

Covered in part one:
- An introduction to the BLADE Framework; a MITRE ATT&CK-style framework for bots
- How to apply the BLADE Framework to a simulated credential stuffing attack, executed in real time
