CAPEC (Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification)

CAPEC, or the Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification, is a comprehensive catalog that identifies and describes various strategies used by cyber attackers to exploit vulnerabilities in systems. It helps security professionals understand common attack methods, such as phishing or denial of service, and provides a standardized way to classify these techniques. By understanding these patterns, organizations can better defend against cyber threats, develop effective security measures, and improve their overall cybersecurity posture. CAPEC serves as a valuable resource for improving awareness and resilience in the face of ever-evolving cyber risks.
