ATT&CK Evaluations

Not participating in the 2026 ATT&CK Evaluations round? Planning for 2027 starts sooner than many organizations expect. Participating in ATT&CK Evaluations isn't just about execution week. It requires coordination across engineering, product, detection engineering, security operations, and program management to prepare for an independent evaluation against realistic adversary behavior. The earlier planning begins, the more time teams have to mature capabilities, validate detections, and prepare for execution. If you're considering participating in 2027, now is the time to start the conversation. 👉 https://evals.mitre.org/ #MITRE #ATTCK #ATTCKEvaluations #CyberSecurity #CyberDefense #DetectionEngineering #ThreatDetection #AdversaryEmulation #SecurityEngineering

Measuring security is hard. Measuring it correctly is even harder. ATT&CK Evaluations focuses on what matters: 🔹 Detection quality not just alert volume. 🔹 Protection effectiveness not just prevention claims. 🔹 Outcomes against realistic adversary behavior not synthetic lab artifacts. Security isn't measured by how much telemetry you collect. It's measured by whether defenders can detect, prevent, and respond to real attacks. That's the outcome we're designed to evaluate. https://lnkd.in/enh3A3t6

ATT&CK Evaluations provides each participant with an independent assessment of how their security capabilities perform against realistic adversary behaviors. One trend we've consistently observed across evaluation rounds: repeat participants improve. Organizations use results to: 🔹 Prioritize engineering investments 🔹 Validate product and detection roadmaps 🔹 Close measurable detection and protection gaps 🔹 Strengthen collaboration across product, detection engineering, security operations, and executive leadership The strongest participants don’t view ATT&CK Evaluations as a one-time event. They use it as a continuous capability improvement process. https://evals.mitre.org/ #MITRE #ATTCK #ATTCKEvaluations #CyberSecurity #CyberDefense #DetectionEngineering #ThreatDetection #AdversaryEmulation #BlueTeam #SecurityEngineering

ATT&CKcon 7.0 in-person ticket sales are open! Come join us for October 27-28 at the home of MITRE ATT&CK, MITRE's HQ in McLean, VA. In person you'll not only get two days of talks related to ATT&CK, but you'll have the opportunity to network with a terrific community, work with members of the ATT&CK team in person, and partake in some excellent ATT&CK snacks, meals, and drinks. We've been able to keep prices down to $375 ($275 government), so grab your tickets while they're available at https://lnkd.in/erB6CnNd. Information on the location, and our hotel room block are available in our FAQ at https://lnkd.in/gjQx5t2d. Not able to come in person? Virtual registration will open in early October. Interested in having a table at the conference to share with the community? Sponsorship information is available at https://lnkd.in/enB2JFyU. Stay tuned, we'll be announcing our speaker line-up and our keynote over the next couple of weeks!

One of the hardest parts of running ATT&CK Evaluations is being transparent without giving away the playbook. We share how we measure, what "good" looks like, and how results should be interpreted. The exact scenario stays under wraps during the Execution phase because realistic evaluations require uncertainty. Once the evaluation concludes, the adversary emulation plan, methodology, and technical details are published so the community can understand exactly what was tested and reproduce the work. #MITRE #ATTCK #ATTCKEvaluations #CyberSecurity #AdversaryEmulation #ThreatDetection #DetectionEngineering #CyberDefense

Cybersecurity changes fast. New vendors. New capabilities. New hype cycles. What hasn't changed is the need for independent, transparent evaluation grounded in real adversary behavior. Not trends. Not marketing claims. Evidence. That's the role ATT&CK Evaluations continues to play. https://lnkd.in/eqXR3kEh #MITRE #ATTCK #ATTCKEvaluations #CyberSecurity #CyberDefense #ThreatDetection #DetectionEngineering #AdversaryEmulation #SecurityResearch #BlueTeam

ATT&CK Evaluations isn’t just useful for the vendors and buyers in the room. Independent, adversary-grounded measurement raises the defensive floor for the entire cybersecurity community. When organizations improve their ability to detect and respond to real-world adversary behaviors, the industry gains a clearer understanding of what effective defense looks like. That's more than a program benefit. It's part of what independent cybersecurity infrastructure should provide. https://lnkd.in/eqXR3kEh #MITRE #ATTCK #ATTCKEvaluations #CyberSecurity #CyberDefense #ThreatDetection #DetectionEngineering #AdversaryEmulation #SecurityResearch #BlueTeam

Most evaluations answer: “What features does this product have?” ATT&CK Evaluations answers: “What happens when a real adversary shows up?” Behavior-based scenarios. End-to-end attack chains. Transparent methodology grounded in adversary behavior. Because what matters isn't what a product can do. It's how it performs against realistic attacks. #MITRE #ATTCK #ATTCKEvaluations #CyberSecurity #CyberDefense #ThreatDetection #DetectionEngineering #AdversaryEmulation #PurpleTeam #BlueTeam

ATT&CK Evaluations isn't built just for vendors. It's built for the people making security decisions: 👉 CISOs evaluating security platforms. 👉 Government organizations informing procurement and defensive strategies. 👉 Industry analysts assessing security capabilities across the market. Security isn't about feature lists. It's about outcomes under real adversary conditions. That's what ATT&CK Evaluations measures. #MITRE #ATTCK #ATTCKEvaluations #CyberSecurity #CyberDefense #DetectionEngineering #ThreatDetection #AdversaryEmulation #CISO #SecurityLeadership

The real reason to participate in ATT&CK Evaluations isn't visibility. It's independent validation - evidence that customers, analysts, and government stakeholders can evaluate in the context of real adversary behavior. Participation helps organizations: 🔹 Assess defensive performance against realistic adversary behaviors. 🔹 Identify capability gaps. 🔹 Improve security capabilities over time. The organizations that get the greatest value aren't the ones chasing headlines. They're the ones using the results to strengthen their defenses. #MITRE #ATTCK #ATTCKEvaluations #CyberSecurity #CyberDefense #DetectionEngineering #ThreatDetection #AdversaryEmulation #PurpleTeam #BlueTeam #SOC
