ATT&CK
MITRE comparison
Prevention is counted only when a product can stop the technique. Expel is the investigation layer, so it scores as detection, not as a block.
Techniques mapped
24
Enterprise subset, not the full matrix
Observed in window
15
From Expel investigations, false positives excluded
Seen, not prevented
6
Observed, and no product blocks them
Blind spots
0
Observed with no detection either

By tactic
Block and detect counts inside each tactic. Reconnaissance and resource development are outside this control set.
