Campaign

A campaign is:

• A series of planned actions that aim to achieve a specific goal.

• Used to detail instances of a threat actor targeting a victim or an exploit target over a period of time by applying a series of attack patterns and malicious behaviors.

Relate campaigns to other entities to provide context for and help identify specific attack patterns and TTPs that define the threat actor’s intentions and goals.
