Network defense is dynamic. Not only must you have a base defense in place, you also need specialized capabilities that detect and prevent active advances. As adversaries change their tactics, you must adjust your existing defensive countermeasures or put new ones in place.
Achieving basic defenses and developing an agile defense with limited resources can be supported effectively with both commercial and open source software. To keep pace with current and new threats requires an iterative approach to strengthen and augment your defensive measures. When there are no readily available or timely solutions, open source tools can be leveraged to quickly fill gaps in your defenses.
At MITRE, we have advanced our network defense by developing tools for resisting intrusion attempts by persistent and determined adversaries. When possible, we build on open source code and share tools through the open source community. Our open source tools for the computer network defense (CND) community and other projects can be found on the GitHub repository.
To further develop the tools necessary for agile defense, we are committed to publicly discussing our released tools and methodologies. Our CND engineers blog, present at conferences, and engage with the open source community to share these tools on a regular basis.
