<p style="background:white"><span class="xcontentpasted1"><span style="font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif;color:black">Decider makes ATT&CK mapping more accessible by walking users through a series of guided questions about adversary activity. The
new tool helps cyber defenders determine correct tactics, techniques, or sub techniques, which then inform a range of important activities such as sharing the findings, discovering mitigations, and detecting further techniques.
