ATT&CK Visualizer v2

In July, ThreatConnect launched ATT&CK Visualizer, our native version of the MITRE ATT&CK framework. ATT&CK Visualizer enables threat intelligence analysts to visualize existing attacker tactics, techniques, and sub-techniques in order to identify adversarial behaviors for planning and organizing defenses.

In this latest release, we’re introducing noteworthy new features. Updates enable users to visually compare multiple threat groups, helping them identify shared techniques and sub-techniques. This enhances the understanding of prevalent tactics and techniques used by these groups.

Furthermore, this release includes advanced layers that allow users to generate a heat map showcasing prevalent techniques to ensure targeted defense strategies. The “Save navigator view” feature allows users to store and retrieve ATT&CK views, while updated export capabilities can be used for further analysis and better collaboration. 

Upcoming features include identification of groups using similar sets of Techniques and Tactics and the ability to overlay security coverage to identify security gaps.

Not only does ATT&CK Visualizer provide organizations with a common language when referring to adversarial behaviors, but now it offers increasingly enhanced visualization. With custom saved views, users can seamlessly continue their analysis, ensuring a streamlined and consistent approach to threat evaluation and defensive strategy formulation. Security teams can quickly gather the right evidence for detecting future attacks and take necessary actions to prevent threat progression.
