In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, security leaders must make informed decisions to protect their organizations effectively.
The “MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Evaluations: Enterprise” serve as an essential resource for cybersecurity decision-makers. These evaluations simulate real-world threats to assess how different cybersecurity vendors detect and respond, providing invaluable insights into their effectiveness.
As soon as the highly anticipated 2024 MITRE ATT&CK Evaluation results are released, this webinar will distill key findings for cybersecurity leaders.
The webinar is hosted by Cynet, the upstart cybersecurity vendor whose All-in-One Platform made MITRE ATT&CK history in 2023. For the first time ever, a vendor achieved 100% Visibility and 100% Analytic Coverage — with no configuration changes.
How do the MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations work?
The MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations are independent assessments designed to rigorously test cybersecurity products. These tests evaluate how well these products can detect, respond to, and report attack techniques based on the MITRE ATT&CK framework—a globally recognized knowledge base categorizing adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).
Key Features of the Evaluation Process:
- Controlled Environment Testing: Vendors test their solutions against emulated adversary behaviors across various stages of the attack lifecycle.
- Structured Threat Understanding: The MITRE ATT&CK framework organizes TTPs in stages, providing a standardized method to assess platform performance.
What Sets MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations Apart?
Several factors differentiate MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations from other assessments:
- Real-World Simulation: Evaluations are based on specific threat actor TTPs, offering realistic performance insights.
- Transparency: Detailed reactions to TTPs are shown without vendor rankings, allowing organizations to choose solutions that best fit their needs.
- Framework Alignment: Results align with the MITRE ATT&CK framework, facilitating integration with existing threat models and identification of detection and response gaps.
- Diverse Vendor Participation: With 31 vendors participating in the 2023 evaluation, the assessments provide a comprehensive view of market options.
Anticipating the 2024 Evaluations
The 2024 MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations promise to introduce more nuanced assessments:
- Focused Emulations: Smaller, targeted evaluations will focus on two areas: adaptable ransomware-as-a-service variants for Linux and Windows, and North Korean tactics targeting macOS.
- Enhanced Insights: These targeted assessments aim to provide deeper insights into vendor capabilities.
Leveraging Evaluation Results
Cybersecurity leaders can take advantage of MITRE ATT&CK Evaluation results by:
- Identifying Strengths and Weaknesses: Analyze the performance of current tools to refine defenses.
- Optimizing Threat Models: Integrate findings with existing threat models to address capability gaps.
- Staying Resilient: Use insights to bolster resilience against emerging threats.
As the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve, utilizing resources like the MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations is crucial for making informed security decisions. By understanding and leveraging these evaluations, security leaders can better navigate the complex threat environment and enhance their organizations’ defenses.
For a deeper dive into the 2024 results, consider attending webinars and expert discussions to gain further insights and strategies for fortifying your cybersecurity posture.
