The MITRE ATT&CK Framework is a globally-accessible knowledge base of adversary tactics and techniques based on real-world observations. The ATT&CK knowledge base is used as a foundation for the development of specific threat models and methodologies in the private sector, government, and the cybersecurity research community.
What is the MITRE ATT&CK Framework?
The MITRE ATT&CK Framework is a structured way to describe the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) that adversaries use to attack computer systems. It is based on real-world observations of how adversaries operate, and it is constantly updated with new information about the latest threats. The framework is organized into 11 different categories, each of which represents a different stage in the attack lifecycle.
The ATT&CK Framework is a valuable tool for security professionals because it provides a common language for discussing and analyzing threats. It can be used to develop threat models, create detection and response plans, and train security analysts. The framework is also used by researchers to develop new security technologies.
