Edge computing – moving processing and storage closer to end-users to better manage data – is nearly ubiquitous. But the next five years will see a significant, industry-wide change in the profile of the data system ecosystem as the industry doubles-down on the edge.

If the past two years have taught us anything, it’s if, given the chance, we’ll choose the ease of clicking a button or an automated service over waiting in line any day. Renew my driver’s license online instead of going to the Department of Motor Vehicles? Yes please!

Everyone in the security community is familiar with the ATT&CK framework developed by MITRE. ATT&CK, which stands for Adversary, Tactics, Techniques, and Common Knowledge, is a comprehensive knowledge base of adversary behaviors used by threat actors across the threat lifecycle. While ATT&CK takes on the perspective of the adversary, there was no documented set of defensive countermeasures, until now.  In this blog post, I talk to Pete Kaloroumakis from MITRE, who has developed the D3FEND…
