MITRE ATT CK: State of the Art and Way Forward
MITRE ATT CK is a comprehensive framework of adversary tactics, techniques and procedures based on real-world observations. It has been used as a foundation for threat modelling in different sectors, such as government, academia and industry. To the best of our knowledge, no previous work has been devoted to the comprehensive collection, study and investigation of the current state of the art leveraging the MITRE ATT CK framework. We select and inspect more than fifty major research contributions, while conducting a detailed analysis of their methodology and objectives in relation to the MITRE ATT CK framework. We provide a categorization of the identified papers according to different criteria such as use cases, application scenarios, adopted methodologies and the use of additional data. Finally, we discuss open issues and future research directions involving not only the MITRE ATT CK framework but also the fields of risk analysis and cyber-threat intelligence at large.
