SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires requests.

What problem does it solve?

SOC teams often lack visibility into whether their detection rules actually cover the techniques used by real threat actors targeting their sector, making it hard to prioritize detection engineering and justify security investments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Threat Actor TTP Profiling: Pulls MITRE ATT&CK STIX data to extract techniques used by groups like FIN7, APT38, and Lazarus, and builds ATT&CK Navigator layers for visualization.
  • Detection Coverage Gap Analysis: Overlays threat actor TTPs against your current detection rule inventory (e.g., from Splunk ES) to compute coverage percentages and identify blind spots by tactic.
  • Prioritized Remediation Planning: Produces a 30/60/90-day detection engineering roadmap and validates coverage with Atomic Red Team or MITRE Caldera adversary emulation.
  • Use Case: A financial services SOC runs an annual threat assessment, discovers only 64% coverage against FIN7 techniques, and uses the gap report to justify hiring two detection engineers.

Quick Start

Use this skill to build a threat model for our SOC by mapping FIN7 and Lazarus Group TTPs against our current Splunk detection rules and producing a prioritized gap remediation plan.

Frequently Asked Questions about implementing-threat-modeling-with-mitre-attack

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I map threat actor TTPs using MITRE ATT&CK?▼

Download the enterprise-attack STIX JSON from the MITRE CTI repository, extract intrusion-set objects for threat groups, and follow 'uses' relationships to their attack-pattern techniques. The resulting technique IDs can be rendered as ATT&CK Navigator layers.

How to perform a detection coverage gap analysis with ATT&CK Navigator?▼

Export your detection rules mapped to ATT&CK technique IDs (for example from Splunk ES correlation searches), build a coverage layer, then overlay it against a threat actor TTP layer. Techniques present in the actor profile but absent from coverage are your gaps.

What tools validate MITRE ATT&CK detection coverage?▼

Atomic Red Team executes individual technique tests like T1003 credential dumping, while MITRE Caldera runs automated adversary emulation at scale. After execution, verify that corresponding alerts appear in your SIEM within the expected window.

Can this threat modeling approach work for cloud or ICS environments?▼

Yes, the workflow supports the Enterprise, ICS, Mobile, and Cloud ATT&CK matrices. For cloud migrations, model cloud-specific techniques such as T1078.004 and T1537 when planning detection coverage.

When should threat modeling with ATT&CK not be a one-time exercise?▼

Threat models must be continuously updated because adversary TTPs evolve and organizational attack surfaces change. Treating it as a one-time project leaves gap analyses stale and detection priorities misaligned with current threats.
