TTPs (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures):

  1. Tactics: Adversarial tactics are specific technical objectives that an adversary intends to achieve
  2. A technique describes one specific way an adversary may try to achieve an objective.
  3. Procedures: A procedure is a series of actions that an adversary may take to achieve a technique.
