Jan 23, 2024 By John Gates In CalCom
A correlation between ATT&CK Mitigations and CIS Controls, often termed as a ‘high-level’ mapping, show case the count of mapped ATT&CK (Sub-)Techniques within each ATT&CK Mitigation. Additionally, it provides the total number of ATT&CK (Sub-)Techniques associated with the respective ATT&CK Mitigation. Mitre attack mapping accurately and consistently maps adversary behaviors relevant to ATT&CK techniques as part of cyber threat intelligence (CTI).
