The MITRE ATT&CK framework is a curated knowledge base of known adversary tactics and techniques. To prevent cyber attacks, the first step is to understand where a threat actor is going to strike next. It's important to understand the common tactics a threat actor may use, as well as how to stave off those attacks. The MITRE ATT&CK (Adversarial Tactics, Techniques & Common Knowledge) Framework was created in 2013 by MITRE to do just that. Basically, the MITRE ATT&CK framework is a curated knowledge base of known adversary tactics and techniques. The data is pulled from publicly available cyber threat intelligence and incident reporting sources as well as research contributed by security analysts. The database is constantly evolving as the threat landscape changes. Over the years, it has grown into an invaluable resource for the cyber security community.
