Survivorship Bias and Red Teaming

Survivorship bias is the logical error of focusing only on successes while ignoring failures, which can lead to incomplete understanding. The article applies this concept to red teaming (security testing where a team acts as attackers to find vulnerabilities) by noting that the MITRE ATT&CK framework (a database of known adversary tactics and techniques) only covers publicly disclosed threats, potentially causing security teams to overlook attack methods that haven't been publicly documented or aren't in the framework.
