GIAC Defending Advanced Threats (GDAT) GDAT sets itself apart by anchoring its scope to real-world adversary tactics documented in the MITRE ATT&CK framework, rather than generic threat categories. You’ll analyze actual intrusion chains, forensic artifacts, and lateral movement patterns that mirror contemporary attacksβnot theoretical scenarios. This grounding in operational threat intelligence transforms preparation into genuine defensive readiness.
