What are the three main matrices of the MITRE ATT&CK framework?

MITRE in cybersecurity has three matrices: The Enterprise Matrix: the MITRE ATT&CK matrix applies to attacks on enterprise infrastructuresThe Mobile Matrix: focuses on mobile operating systems (Android and iOS)The Industrial Control System (ICS) matrix: focuses on safeguarding industrial networks

What are the TTPs in cybersecurity?

TTPs in cybersecurity are tactics, techniques, and procedures that cyber criminals use to carry out an attack. Tactics are activities, such as accessing sensitive data without authorisation, compromising an account, etc. Techniques are the methods an attacker uses to accomplish their goal. For instance, an attacker’s goal is to take down a site. Their technique could be DDoS attacks or SQL injections.Procedures are steps an attacker takes while carrying out a cyber attack. In the same example above, the attacker may scan the target site to find vulnerabilities and exploit them to inject malicious code and then control the site.

Explain MITRE ATT&CK vs Cyber Kill Chain

MITRE ATT&CK and Cyber Kill Chain are both popular cybersecurity frameworks that help you understand the behaviour and tactics of attackers. But they are different in many ways.Cyber Kill Chain assumes that in order for a cyberattack to succeed, the tactics must be carried out in sequence. If any of the tactics is blocked, it breaks the chain and prevents the attack. But this might not be the case with advanced or cloud-based attacks.On the other hand, the MITRE ATT&CK framework doesn’t assume anything like that. Instead, it helps you identify adversarial techniques and tactics and prevent them.Cyber Kill Chain covers only 7 tactics – Weaponisation, Reconnaissance, Installation, Exploitation, Actions on Objectives, and Command and Control. It’s less detailed compared to MITRE ATT&CK which covers 18 tactics in-depth and is updated regularly with the latest data.

MITRE ATT&CK Framework Implementation Services

Improve your cybersecurity posture and threat detection and response (TDR) capabilities with Microminder CS’s MITRE ATT&CK Framework Implementation Services.

What Is MITRE ATT&CK Framework?

The MITRE ATT&CK framework is a reliable knowledge base of the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) malicious actors use to conduct a cyberattack. Organisations globally can access and implement this framework as a tool to thoroughly understand each stage of the attack lifecycle, improve their threat detection and response (TDR) capabilities, and strengthen their cybersecurity posture.

MITRE ATT&CK Framework Implementation Services

Stop cyber attackers before they harm your organisation by understanding their cyber attack tactics, techniques, and procedures with the MITRE ATT&CK framework. We at Microminder CS implement the framework smoothly to bolster your security and testing capabilities. Now, identify, respond to, and prevent threats faster in a structured way and support your risk assessment efforts.

Features of Our MITRE ATT&CK Implementation Services

Threat Hunting

Equip your threat hunters with valuable intelligence, such as the TTPs, to be able to hunt cyber threats effectively. Our threat hunting includes MITRE threat modelling, advanced data analysis, ML techniques, log analysis, and network monitoring to identify vulnerabilities, malware, signs of intruders, compromised accounts, access violations, etc. in your systems.

This helps your threat hunters understand if the team has the capabilities to fend off a particular type of threat. If not, they can report this to decision-makers to acquire the required security solutions to prevent the attacks.

Security Gap Analysis

Microminder’s security experts use the MITRE framework to perform a gap analysis of your current security strategies, tools, and techniques and the risks you face. This will give you a clear idea of your security posture.

We also do SOC maturity assessments using MITRE ATT&CK data on the latest TTPs of attackers. This checks how capable your security operations centre (SOC) is at handling cyber threats. We also help you fix the issues detected during these assessments and provide recommendations to further secure your organisation.

Red Teaming

We at Microminders use MITRE ATT&CK framework data to conduct red teaming exercises. These exercises simulate real-world attacks to test how effective your current security measures, policies, and solutions are and improve them. We also find and fix vulnerabilities in your systems before attackers do.

Our red teaming exercises involve people from different departments to create a culture of security organisation-wide. It encourages everyone to stay vigilant and use security best practices to avoid becoming the next victim.

Incident Response Planning

We use information from MITRE ATT&CK, such as methods to detect and mitigate various types of cyber attacks, for incident detection and response planning. Our goal is to make sure you have the right defences ready to deal with a threat.

To achieve this goal, we study your IT infrastructure thoroughly and prepare a customised incident response plan to neutralise threats. We explain each step – threat detection, analysis, containment, remediation, and prevention in detail, so you don’t face difficulties at any stage.

Incident Detection and Investigation

We’re like digital Sherlock Holmes for you, detecting and investigating threats like no one else does! We use the MITRE cyber security framework’s insights that outline how to detect and investigate a specific type of cyber threat. This helps us create incident detection rules for various security solutions, such as SIEM, firewalls, and IDS systems.

We also identify all your IT assets and assess their security using penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, cloud security assessments, compromise assessments, and more. We then investigate the discovered vulnerabilities and threats in detail and notify us instantly.

Threat Remediation

We understand the procedures and capabilities of various cyber threats with the MITRE ATT&CK framework to remediate incidents faster. The framework also sheds light on the actions of the attacker throughout the attack lifecycle that we consider to remove the threat. We also help you restore your systems and operations to minimise the damage.

We also enable our security tools, such as XDR, EDR, IPS, and SIEM to ingest the MITRE framework data. This helps triage alerts and trigger automated threat responses. Save your security team’s time and make your SOC more efficient with MCS.

Threat Intelligence

Enrich your threat database with valuable intel from the MITRE ATT&CK framework to stay on top of advanced security threats, such as APTs, fileless malware, ransomware, etc. This cyber threat intelligence framework will also help you understand their common behaviour and attack patterns to protect your systems and data.

Reporting

The MITRE security framework standardises terminologies to simplify reporting. All our reports follow the same standards, outlining each security incident we discover, assets it compromised, its impacts on the organisation, detection and mitigation efforts, and data protection measures. This comprehensive reporting will help you during audits and stay compliant with regulatory bodies.

Continuous Monitoring

Our security experts continuously monitor your networks and systems to detect threats and vulnerabilities. If they detect any threats, you will receive instant alerts and trigger automated responses. They also provide ongoing support and updates to keep your defences sharp.

Awareness and Training

As a leading cybersecurity company in the UK, we help you train your teams and spread cybersecurity awareness. We do this with tabletop exercises that simulate real-world cyberattacks and how prepared your team is to face them. We also train your security teams to use security solutions effectively and help them in need.
