Questions: A well-established technology company is overhauling its incident response and management processes. They tasked a cybersecurity analyst with identifying a framework that can help improve their security posture. The analyst recommends the Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM) framework. What benefits of OSSTMM should the analyst present? (Select the two best options.) OSSTMM is a framework that focuses on understanding the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by attackers during a cyber attack. OSSTMM is a framework that focuses on identifying and mitigating software vulnerabilities. OSSTMM is a framework that focuses on identifying and analyzing the stages of a cyber attack.

The answer is the second and fourth options:

1. OSSTMM is a framework that focuses on identifying and mitigating software vulnerabilities.
2. OSSTMM is a framework that focuses on identifying and analyzing the stages of a cyber attack.

Explanation:

• The first option is incorrect because OSSTMM does not specifically focus on understanding the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by attackers during a cyber attack. This is more aligned with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK.
• The second option is correct because OSSTMM does include methodologies for identifying and mitigating software vulnerabilities, which is a key aspect of improving security posture.
• The third option is incorrect because OSSTMM does not solely focus on identifying and analyzing the stages of a cyber attack. This is more characteristic of frameworks like the Cyber Kill Chain.
• The fourth option is correct because OSSTMM does provide a comprehensive approach to identifying and analyzing various aspects of security, including the stages of a cyber attack.

Summary: The analyst should present the benefits of OSSTMM as a framework that focuses on identifying and mitigating software vulnerabilities and identifying and analyzing the stages of a cyber attack.
