Micro Emulation Plans by MITRE-Engenuity

We enjoy imitating the opposition.  In fact, it’s so important that they’ve written, spoken, trained on it, and are still developing and disseminating more emulation plans (including one of the first public Adversary Emulation Plans).  However, many organisations are unable to overcome the entry barrier due to the expense and complexity involved in developing or even carrying out the majority of adversary emulation plans. The Center for Threat-Informed Defense (Center) collaborated with AttackIQ, Inc., Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc., Citigroup Technology, Inc., Ernst & Young U.S. LLP, Fujitsu, HCA — Information Technology & Services, Inc., IBM Corporation, Microsoft Corporation, and Verizon Business Services to create Micro Emulation Plans in an effort to make adversary emulation accessible to a wider audience. By using simple to use executable binaries that any user can use, these emulation plans re-imagine adversary emulation to focus on very specific threat-informed defensive objectives. Currently Used Adversary EmulationThe four general steps that make up an operation when it comes to adversary emulation today are cyber threat intelligence (CTI) research,… Continue reading Micro Emulation Plans by MITRE-Engenuity

Organizations in Poland and Ukraine are affected by the new “Prestige” ransomware.

The Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool (TMT)

A crucial component of the Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle is the Threat Modeling Tool (SDL). Early detection and mitigation of potential security issues, when they are still manageable and affordable to fix, is made possible for software architects. It consequently significantly lowers the overall cost of development. Additionally, since we created the tool with non-security… Continue reading The Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool (TMT)

Threat Modeling: Choosing the Right Method for Your Business

Why Threat Modeling Is Important and What It IsIdentifying and evaluating threats that an attacker (threat) could exploit is done through the exercise of threat modelling. Consider a threat model for your home to help you better understand threat modelling. Your home likely has assets, or things that an attacker would value, like cash, jewellery,… Continue reading Threat Modeling: Choosing the Right Method for Your Business

IriusRisk Threat Modeling for Security and Development Teams

Threat modelling: what is it?Basics of Threat Modeling Threat modeling’s fundamental tenet is the identification, disclosure, and management of security flaws. This is accomplished by being aware of the threats and attacks the system might face as well as the corresponding countermeasures (controls). Security by design vs. Fixing in production Threat modeling’s guiding principle is… Continue reading IriusRisk Threat Modeling for Security and Development Teams

The Azure Threat Research Matrix is explained

It’s typical for the assessment team to cite the MITRE ATT&CK knowledge base when conducting an offensive security assessment so that high-level stakeholders can see visually which techniques were effective and administrators and defenders can comprehend the techniques used in order to correct or defend against them in the future. But there is no official… Continue reading The Azure Threat Research Matrix is explained
