Use the ATT&CK framework

ATT&CK gives you a common language for understanding how attackers operate. We help you put it into practice with mapping, gap analysis, and detection engineering so your defences target the techniques that matter most.

The framework

A structured map of how attackers operate

MITRE ATT&CK is a knowledge base of adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) based on real-world observations of how attackers actually behave. It catalogues what adversaries do once they’re inside your environment — from initial access through to data exfiltration.

The framework is organised as a matrix: tactics run across the top (the attacker’s goals at each stage), and techniques sit beneath each tactic (the specific methods they use to achieve those goals). This gives your team a structured, shared vocabulary for describing threats and measuring your defensive coverage.

Why it matters

How ATT&CK helps your team defend what counts.

Track the techniques attackers are using against you — Map incidents and alerts to ATT&CK techniques to build a picture of which adversary behaviours are hitting your organisation. Over time, this shows you patterns and priorities — so you know exactly where to strengthen your defences.

Share intelligence across your industry — If you’re part of a CTI sharing community — an ISAC, sector CERT, or trusted group — you can pool ATT&CK-mapped data to see what’s targeting your peers. This lets you protect yourself against threats you haven’t seen yet, using real data from organisations facing the same adversaries.

Build detection and prevention rules that matter — Once you know the most common techniques targeting your sector, you can develop monitoring, detection, and prevention rules that specifically target them. Tailoring your existing controls to detect and prevent the attacks you are likely to see makes the most use of your current investment.

Figure out where your gaps are — Knowing the attack tactics and techniques you are likely to see will let you understand where your gaps are. You can then target your future security investment where you will get the best results.

Why it matters

Turn what you know about adversaries into targeted defences

Most organisations collect threat intelligence but struggle to act on it. ATT&CK bridges that gap by giving you a structured way to map what you know about adversaries to the specific controls and detections you need. The result: your defensive investment goes where it counts.

our approach

How we run an ATT&CK engagement

Threat intelligence feeds deliver structured data about threats — indicators of compromise, threat actor profiles, vulnerability details, and more. If you’re new to CTI feeds, the number of providers and data types can feel overwhelming. The good news is you don’t need to buy everything at once. Start with your biggest risks, define what you need to know, and build from there. We’ll help you work out what matters for your organisation and find the feeds that match.

Understand your environment — We start by understanding your infrastructure, tooling, and current detection capabilities so we can tailor the ATT&CK mapping to your actual environment.

Map your coverage — We map your existing detections, logs, and controls against ATT&CK techniques to show where you have coverage and where the gaps are.

Prioritise by threat profile — Using threat intelligence relevant to your sector, we identify which ATT&CK techniques are most likely to be used against you and prioritise accordingly.

Build your roadmap — We deliver a prioritised roadmap of detection and prevention improvements, with practical guidance your team can act on immediately.
