Threat hunters who contribute offer insight in to adversary behaviour sourced from real world observations of security incidents. The MITRE ATT&CK platform supports the development of methodologies and new techniques to support defensive coverage of organisations. Implementations made off of the back of MITRE ATT&CK threat intelligence lead to better outcomes for organisations in securing their data and business-critical assets.
What is the purpose of MITRE ATT&CK?
The purpose is to provide help with threat modelling based on real-world adversarial behaviour. The framework is leveraged by managed security Service providers (MSSP’s) and security operations centres to improve effectiveness of threat detection.
MITRE ATT&CK offers detailed and cohesive insight in to tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) used by cyber criminals and malicious actors when carrying out cyber attacks.
CloudTech24 – Leveraging Mitre to enrich our SOC monitoring and threat detection services.
As leading cyber security specialists we are here to consult with your security operations teams and review your existing tools. Our Security analysts and threat hunters leverage the MITRE ATT&CK framework to ensure security coverage and ensure that adversaries tactics and behaviours are aligned to our defensive capabilities, both with threat hunting and our automated use cases as part of our MDR services.
By reviewing everything from data sources and threat hunting capabilities to security tools and threat detection (as well as threat analysis), we offer insight in to the specific techniques needed to handle MITRE ATT&CK and its noted adversary tactics. We work with security teams (or alternatively, as your outsourced security team) to study your current tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) and analyse the cyber kill chain your organisation could be vulnerable to.
