Which frameworks are used for cyber event analysis and defense?

• A. Diamond Model and MITRE D3FEND
• B. Kill Chain and MITRE's ATT&CK
• C. NIST Cybersecurity Framework
• D. ISO/IEC 27001

Answer: (A)

This pairing focuses on studying incidents and planning defenses in a structured way. The Diamond Model gives a clear lens to analyze a cyber event by examining four elements: the adversary, the capabilities used, the infrastructure involved, and the victim. This helps you understand how the incident unfolded and how the pieces relate to each other. MITRE D3FEND complements that by offering a catalog of defensive techniques and how they counter specific attacker capabilities, guiding which controls to deploy and how to map them to the observed techniques. Put together, you have a practical approach to both analyze what happened and decide on concrete defenses, which is why this combination best fits cyber event analysis and defense. The other options either focus mainly on attacker behavior or attack stages, or represent broad management standards that don’t pair an incident-analysis model with a dedicated defense framework as effectively.
