Types taxonomy for ASFF - AWS Security Hub

Types taxonomy for ASFF

The following information describes the first three levels of the Types path. In the list, the top-level bullets are namespaces, the second-level bullets are categories, and the third-level bullets are classifiers. We recommend that finding providers use defined namespaces to help sort and group findings. The defined categories and classifiers may also be used, but are not required. Only the software and configuration checks namespace has defined classifiers.

  • Namespaces

    • Categories

      • Classifiers

A finding provider may define a partial path for namespace/category/classifier. For example, the following finding types are all valid.

  • TTPs

  • TTPs/Defense Evasion

  • TTPs/Defense Evasion/CloudTrailStopped

The tactics, techniques, and procedures categories in the following list align to the MITRE ATT&CK MatrixTM. Unusual behaviors reflect general unusual behavior, such as general statistical anomalies, and are not aligned with a specific TTP. However, you could classify a finding with both unusual behaviors and TTPs finding types.
