Applying systems thinking to national challenges in defense, cybersecurity, healthcare, homeland security, & transportation. Solving problems for a safer world.
#Cybersecurity
challenges transcend individual organizations, fields, and countries. The Center for Threat-Informed Defense is bringing the private sector together to improve cyber defenses for all.
Walmart is just one example of a company using
@MITREattack
to improve its
#cyber
defenses. Jason O'Dell, Walmart director of incident response, said at
#RSAC
that companies should use a common taxonomy to understand attacks - and Walmart uses ATT&CK.

As

architects seek out new products to defend their networks, the choices can be overwhelming. MITRE worked with

to create D3FEND, which makes it easier for these architects to understand how countermeasures work.
In 2018, MITRE is celebrating 60 years of solving problems for a safer world.
Since July 21, 1958, MITRE has provided engineering and technical guidance to the federal government as a private, not-for-profit company.
Cybersecurity teams need to understand how attacks on
#machinelearning
systems will play out. We worked with
@MsftSecIntel
to develop the Arsenal plug-in, which can help security teams accurately emulate these attacks w/o a deep background in
#ML
or
#AI
.
From an Excel spreadsheet to a massive

threat knowledge base accessed in more than 190 countries, we're grateful to the community who has grown
#MITREattack
over the last decade—our founders, team members, and contributors. Happy 10th anniversary

Achieving secure cyber systems is a collaborative effort. MITRE’s work aligns with many of
@CISAgov
Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative priorities and we look forward to continued innovation.
