MITRE ATT&CK
The MITRE ATT&CK Matrix dashboard displays detection coverage based on detectors developed by FortiGuard Labs.
MITRE ATT&CK is a globally recognized knowledge base of threat behaviors and techniques used by security professionals to understand and respond to threats. FortiGuard Lab detectors can be mapped to MITRE ATT&CK to provide visibility into the threat coverage offered by FortiNDR Cloud.
The dashboard presents detections by behavior type (behavioral and non-behavioral) and by technique type (primary and secondary):
- Primary Technique: The main technique used to detect the behavior.
- Secondary Technique: A related technique that may not be directly observed on the network but is associated with the threat. This is not displayed in most cases.
To view the secondary technique, click the plus (+) symbol in the bottom-right corner of a Primary Technique box.
Detection indicators
- A blue shield icon indicates active detections for a technique or sub-technique, and that you have permission to view them on the Detections page.
- An empty shield icon indicates that detections are resolved, but still viewable.
- Techniques shown as plain text either have no detections or you lack permission to view them.
