In recent years, the cyber security industry has seen a rapid increase in the number of threats and attacks. To help organizations better understand and protect themselves against these threats, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and MITRE Corporation have collaborated to create the Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common Knowledge (ATT&CK) framework. This framework provides a comprehensive list of tactics, techniques, and procedures used by malicious actors to target organizations.
The ATT&CK framework is an invaluable resource for organizations looking to better understand the threats they face and how to defend against them. However, many organizations have found the framework difficult to understand and use. To address this issue, CISA and MITRE have recently announced a joint effort to make the ATT&CK framework easier to understand.
The first step in this effort is to create a more user-friendly version of the ATT&CK framework. This version will be designed to be easier to navigate and understand, with more intuitive visualizations and explanations of the various tactics, techniques, and procedures. Additionally, CISA and MITRE are working to create a series of educational materials that will help organizations better understand the ATT&CK framework and how to use it to protect their systems.
The second step in this effort is to create a set of tools that will make it easier for organizations to use the ATT&CK framework. These tools will include automated assessments that can quickly identify potential weaknesses in an organization’s security posture, as well as tools that can help organizations develop more effective defense strategies. Additionally, CISA and MITRE are working on a set of open-source tools that will allow organizations to build their own custom ATT&CK-based solutions.
By making the ATT&CK framework easier to understand and use, CISA and MITRE hope to help organizations better protect themselves against cyber threats. This effort is an important step in the fight against cybercrime, and it will hopefully lead to a more secure digital world for everyone.
