Involves elements such as threat actors who apply and carry out TTPs (Techniques, Tactics and Procedures) to attack targeted victims, and to achieve a malicious result.
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.
