MITRE develops cybersecurity knowledge bases such as ATT&CK, which practitioners use to map adversary tactics, techniques, and defensive coverage.

Background for this topic.
MITRE is a U.S. not-for-profit organization whose cybersecurity work includes the ATT&CK knowledge base and the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program. ATT&CK organizes documented adversary behavior into tactics, such as credential access, and techniques, such as phishing or PowerShell use. CVE assigns standardized identifiers and descriptions to publicly disclosed software vulnerabilities, allowing security teams and tools to refer to the same issue consistently.
Practitioners map threat-intelligence reports, incident evidence, and detection rules to ATT&CK to identify attack behaviors and gaps in monitoring or response coverage. They use CVE identifiers to correlate vulnerability disclosures with affected assets, patches, and other assessment data. An ATT&CK technique describes a behavior, not proof that a particular actor was responsible or that every associated detection is effective. Likewise, a CVE identifier is not a severity score or a guarantee that a system is affected; teams must verify product versions, exposure, exploitability, and available mitigations before prioritizing remediation.

The U.S. government funding for non-profit research giant MITRE to operate and maintain its Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program will expire Wednesday, an unprecedented development that could shake up one of the foundational pillars of the global cybersecurity ecosystem
Across small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) and managed service providers (MSPs), the top priority for cybersecurity leaders is to keep IT environments up and running. To guard against cyber threats and prevent data breaches, it’s vital to understand the current cybersecurity vendor landscape and continually assess the effectiveness of available solutions. Luckily, the 2024 MITRE ATT&CK
The MITRE Corporation has revealed that the cyber attack targeting the not-for-profit company towards late December 2023 by exploiting zero-day flaws in Ivanti Connect Secure (ICS) involved the threat actor creating rogue virtual machines (VMs) within its VMware environment
The MITRE Corporation has officially made available a new threat-modeling framework called EMB3D for makers of embedded devices used in critical infrastructure environments
The MITRE Corporation has offered more details into the recently disclosed cyber attack, stating that the first evidence of the intrusion now dates back to December 31, 2023
The MITRE Corporation revealed that it was the target of a nation-state cyber attack that exploited two zero-day flaws in Ivanti Connect Secure appliances starting in January 2024
Thorough, independent tests are a vital resource for analyzing provider’s capabilities to guard against increasingly sophisticated threats to their organization. And perhaps no assessment is more widely trusted than the annual MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Evaluation. This testing is critical for evaluating vendors because it’s virtually impossible to evaluate cybersecurity vendors based on their own

MITRE has released its annual list of the Top 25 "most dangerous software weaknesses" for the year 2023
Threat hunting is the process of looking for malicious activity and its artifacts in a computer system or network. Threat hunting is carried out intermittently in an environment regardless of whether or not threats have been discovered by automated security solutions. Some threat actors may stay dormant in an organization's infrastructure, extending their access while waiting for the right
Threat actor groups like Wizard Spider and Sandworm have been wreaking havoc over the past few years – developing and deploying cybercrime tools like Conti, Trickbot, and Ryuk ransomware. Most recently, Sandworm (suspected to be a Russian cyber-military unit) unleashed cyberattacks against Ukranian infrastructure targets
