Methodology
AV-Comparatives used five different Initial Access Phases, distributed among the 15 test cases, mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK Matrix (c)
Trusted Relationship: "Adversaries may breach or otherwise leverage organizations who have access to intended victims. Access through trusted third-party relationship exploits an existing connection that may not be protected or receives less scrutiny than standard mechanisms of gaining access to a network."
Valid accounts: "Adversaries may steal the credentials of a specific user or service account using Credential Access techniques or capture credentials earlier in their reconnaissance process through social engineering […]."
Replication Through Removable Media: "Adversaries may move onto systems […] by copying malware to removable media […] and renaming it to look like a legitimate file to trick users into executing it on a separate system. […]"
Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment: "Spearphishing attachment is […] employs the use of malware attached to an email. […]"
Phishing: Spearphishing Link: "Spearphishing with a link […] employs the use of links to download malware contained in email […]."
