Introduction to Mitre

For those that are new to the cybersecurity field, you probably never heard of MITRE. Those of us that have been around might only associate MITRE with CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) list, which is one resource you'll probably check when searching for an exploit for a given vulnerability. But MITRE researches in many areas, outside of cybersecurity, for the 'safety, stability, and well-being of our nation.' These areas include artificial intelligence, health informatics, space security, to name a few.

From Mitre.org: "At MITRE, we solve problems for a safer world. Through our federally funded R&D centers and public-private partnerships, we work across government to tackle challenges to the safety, stability, and well-being of our nation."

In this room, we will focus on other projects/research that the US-based non-profit MITRE Corporation has created for the cybersecurity community, specifically:

• ATT&CK® (Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common Knowledge) Framework

• CAR (Cyber Analytics Repository) Knowledge Base

• SHIELD (sorry, not a fancy acronym) Active Defense

• AEP (ATT&CK Emulation Plans)

Let's dive in, shall we...
