We are excited to partner with UnderDefense, a leading managed SOC company, to dive into the world of MITRE ATT&CK and share our perspectives on using it.
At BSG, we approach ATT&CK with a red-team focus, leveraging it in unconventional ways to simulate realistic attack scenarios and test security measures. Meanwhile, UnderDefense, as a blue-team powerhouse, applies ATT&CK in its more traditional forms for threat detection, mitigation, and response. Together, we bring a holistic view of how ATT&CK empowers both offensive and defensive cybersecurity practices.
What is MITRE ATT&CK?
MITRE ATT&CK (Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common Knowledge) is a globally recognized framework that categorizes adversary behavior across the lifecycle of a cyberattack. By mapping Tactics (the “why”), Techniques (the “how”), and Procedures (the detailed implementation), ATT&CK provides organizations with a common language to understand and combat threats. Its matrices—covering Enterprise, Mobile, and ICS environments—enable security teams to bridge gaps, improve threat hunting, and refine their defense strategies.
Whether you’re simulating attacks as a red teamer, strengthening defenses as a blue teamer, or analyzing threats as part of a SOC, ATT&CK is a vital resource. It not only standardizes adversary behavior but also fosters collaboration between teams and helps organizations enhance their security posture.
Join Oksana Safronova and Vlad Styran in our webcast as we explore the power of MITRE ATT&CK, sharing practical applications from both offensive and defensive perspectives. Learn how to harness this framework to protect your organization from evolving threats.
