Abstract

The cybersecurity landscape is exceedingly dynamic, with new, more sophisticated cyber threats emerging as swiftly as technology advances. Today’s most significant threats are social engineering, state-sponsored, ransomware, DDoS, insider threats, data breaches, and AI-powered attacks among others. The surge of these cyber threats has resulted in an equal response in the development of cybersecurity defenses. The future of seamlessly functioning cybersecurity lies in proactive techniques where businesses will not only respond to cyber threats but also foresee them. Consequently, security analysts are constantly devising new methods, techniques, and approaches to keep pace with hackers’ tactics and techniques through the use of threat intelligence and cyber security frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK. This review discusses the ways organizations can keep pace with threat actors by leveraging the power of the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
