Cybersecurity Webinar: Understanding the 2020 MITRE ATT&CK Results

The release of MITRE Engenuity’s Carbanak+Fin7 ATT&CK
evaluations every year is a benchmark for the cybersecurity
industry.

The organization’s tests measure how well security vendors can
detect and respond to threats and offers an independent metric for
customers and security leaders to understand how well vendors
perform on a variety of tasks.

However, for the uninitiated, the results can be hard to
decipher and contextualize properly. Unlike many benchmarks that
compare participants in a competitive manner, MITRE’s framework
evaluates companies exclusively on how they respond to the
tests.

This means that customers must really know what they’re looking
for. A new webinar (register here^[1]) aims to provide some
clarity on what to look for and how to interpret the results.

Cynet’s new live webinar will dig a little deeper into the MITRE
ATT&CK evaluation. The company’s research team will break down
how the evaluations work, what the results mean, and how they
should be interpreted (and not interpreted).

Most importantly, the webinar will show how to get real value
out of the evaluation results as a tool for understanding a
vendor’s strengths.

The company, which was part of this year’s MITRE ATT&CK
evaluation (you can find the company’s results
here^[2]). Cynet CTO Aviad Hasnis
will be discussing the MITRE ATT&CK results, as well as
breaking down Cynet’s performance in the evaluation and what
lessons can be learned from examining it.

Some of the topics the webinar will cover include:

• What does the MITRE ATT&CK evaluation
  test? One of the most important aspects of understanding
  the evaluation’s results is knowing what exactly they test for. The
  webinar offers an overview of the test itself.
• How do you interpret the results themselves?
  Unlike comparative tests and the like, MITRE ATT&CK does not
  offer any sort of comparison or even a traditional score for each
  vendor. This means that the value lies in digging deeper and
  analyzing the results on a variety of different factors.
• What can the results actually tell you? More
  importantly, MITRE ATT&CK results can tell you a lot, but you
  need to know what questions to ask. Instead of simply looking for
  “good” or “bad”, the test focuses on strengths and response
  abilities.
• A breakdown of Cynet’s results. The webinar
  will also include a breakdown of Cynet’s results to show how they
  can be interpreted and how to find the right answers, as well as
  offering a look at Cynet’s own performance.
