Common Good Cyber interviewed MITRE’s Leslie Anderson, chief strategist for cyber, about MITRE’s cyber expertise and tools available to the greater cyber community.
Anderson said, “When it comes to cyber, our goal is to help defenders everywhere stay ahead of threats. We do this by creating open, community-driven resources that anyone can use. All of our cyber experts work on a variety of government-sponsored programs. They are exposed to real-world cyber threat intelligence, and in their development of cyber tools and frameworks, they bridge government and industry who have different insights and complementary datasets.”
Anderson particularly pointed to three resources for cyber defenders:
- MITRE ATT&CK®, the globally recognized, openly accessible knowledge base that catalogs cyber adversary tactics and techniques based on real-world observations,
- MITRE Caldera™, an automated adversary emulation platform built on the ATT&CK framework, and
- MITRE’s Center for Threat-Informed Defense, an industry-funded cybersecurity research and development collaborative that advances the state of threat-informed defense globally by developing open resources to help defenders apply deep technical knowledge of adversary behaviors to cyber defense.
