MITRE ATT&CK® Evaluations are widely trusted for their transparency and rigor, offering a detailed look at how endpoint security solutions behave during real-world attack scenarios.
A framework that categorizes cybercriminal tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) across the attack lifecycle. It is used by security teams to model, detect, and prevent attacks. MITRE only publishes raw data, making it beneficial to explore vendor and third-party explanations, rankings, and guidance.
Uses AI, machine learning, and behavioral analysis that is not available in traditional antivirus solutions to proactively detect and stop known and unknown threats. Goes beyond traditional signature-based methods to catch modern malware, ransomware, and fileless attacks before they cause damage.
