The MITRE Corporation has taken the wraps off a knowledge base of common techniques and tactics that defenders can use to ensure their networks and assets are kept secure.
Called MITRE Shield, the publicly available, free resource is aimed at cyber-experts looking to engage an active cyber defense and, similarly with MITRE ATT&CK, presents a series of active defense concepts.
With the help of both ATT&CK and MITRE Shield, defenders can create active defense playbooks that would help them address specific adversaries, MITRE says.
MITRE Shield is not complete, but should serve as a starting point for discussion on adversary engagement, active defense, and how defenders can take advantage of them.
According to MITRE, the main idea behind releasing Shield is to receive others' opinions on the work, to expand the knowledge base.
