FireEye, Inc.†(NASDAQ: FEYE), the intelligence-led security company, announced that FireEye Endpoint Security has earned the leading position within the Adversarial Tactics, Techniques and Common Knowledge†(ATT&CK)†evaluation by the MITRE Corporation based on an†independent third-party analyst’s public and transparent scoring methodology.
The MITRE Corporation is a federally-funded, non-profit research and development organization with a mission-driven team dedicated to solving problems for a safer world and runs the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) system. The ATT&CK framework is used as a foundation for the development of specific threat models, and methodologies in the private sector, government, and the broader cybersecurity community. It is widely used by both cybersecurity vendors and customers in building out security programs.
“The MITRE evaluation is a big step forward in security testing, by replicating real-world adversary behaviors using techniques based on APT3, a threat group supported by the Chinese government. Additionally, they are open and transparent with publicly available testing procedures and evaluation results to enable customers to compare vendor capabilities,” said Christopher Glyer, Chief Security Architect at FireEye. “Customers who drill into the results will see FireEye with the highest efficacy of all vendors across all techniques and procedures, with a strength in behavioral-based detections. The evaluation demonstrates how FireEye’s combination of intelligence, expertise, and technology is the most effective way to defend against adversaries in the real world.”
