Operationalize MITRE ATT&CK

Get to know the MITRE ATT&CK Framework and how you can use it to elevate your cybersecurity environment with Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS).

The MITRE ATT&CK Framework

The MITRE ATT&CK Framework defines and organizes TTPs (tactics, techniques, and procedures). It is a globally accessible public knowledge base in accordance with real-world observations of adversary operations. It has become a common language between security teams to describe TTPs and improve adversary emulations. It is also a community-driven initiative; therefore, it is a compelling framework as the whole global security community can contribute to it.

Operationalizing the MITRE ATT&CK Framework
Has Its Challenges

The MITRE ATT&CK framework is large and complex with big volumes of data that can be overwhelming for security teams to sort through. Without automation, it can be hard to map ATT&CK data to your security environment—diminishing the effectiveness of adversary emulations.

How Picus can help you

HPCH - Map Assessment

Map Assessment Results to MITRE ATT&CK Framework

Understand your adversary’s tactics and techniques with our wide MITRE ATT&CK coverage so you have the best data to inform your defense strategies

HPCH - Threat Coverage

Identify Threat Coverage and Visibility Blindspots

With priority TTPs uncovered from ATT&CK, improve testing of defenses with relevant risk-free adversary emulations to uncover gaps.

HPCH - Reduce Manual Processes

Reduce Manual Processes to Operationalize the Framework

The Picus platform allows for high levels of automation, freeing security teams from the time and resource intensive process of mapping data.

See Picus in Action

Watch this short video to discover how our award-winning platform helps take the hard work out of operationalizing ATT&CK. In it, we demonstrate how to simulate OS Credential Dumping - one of the top ten most common ATT&CK techniques observed by Picus in the Red Report 2021 - and see the results of adversary emulations mapped to the framework.

10 STEPS

1. Let us show you how you can operationalize MITRE ATT&CK framework with Picus. Picus Threat Library includes attack simulations for MITRE ATT&CK techniques under Attack Simulation. To see them, click on Attack Simulation.

Step 1 image

2. Under Attack Simulation, Picus provides analysis results of your security controls against MITRE ATT&CK techniques. Click on MITRE ATT&CK Matrix Analysis to see your analysis results.

Step 2 image

3. Under MITRE ATT&CK Matrix Analysis, you can see your security performance against MITRE ATT&CK techniques. Click on OS Credential Dumping to list related attack simulations.

Step 3 image

4. OS Credential Dumping is a widely used attack technique and in Top 10 MITRE ATT&CK techniques used by adversaries list in the Red Report 2021.
Click on highlighted attack simulation for OS Credential Dumping to assess your security controls.

Step 4 image

5. Under Overview tab, the threat details for the attack simulation are available. This attack simulation uses SilentProcessExit method for credential dumping. Let's click Assess to go to assessment screen.

Step 5 image

6. Under Assess tab, you can run attack simulations any time you want. Click on Assess to run simulation for OS Credential Dumping technique.

Step 6 image

7. Assessment is finished and the result is "Not Blocked" as indicated by the red icon but don't worry. Picus provides detection and mitigation methods for simulated attacks. Click on Mitigation to see detection signatures.

Step 7 image

8. Under Mitigation, Picus provides vendor specific and vendor agnostic detection signatures. Type SilentProcessExit on the search bar and press Enter.

Step 8 image

9. Sigma rules are vendor agnostic and can be converted to specific security product. Click on highlighted rule to view the Sigma rule used for detection of OS credential dumping attack.

Step 9 image

10. With few clicks, you can test your security posture against MITRE ATT&CK techniques and get detection signature for your security controls.
