A document that cybersecurity professionals consult in analyzing hacking groups will soon expand to include attack techniques used against industrial control systems, a recognition of the growing number of adversaries that target critical infrastructure. The goal is to help organizations understand and defend against disruptive cyberattacks like the one that cut power for some 225,000 people in Ukraine in 2015. That means filling in gaps in the cybersecurity community’s knowledge base of the hacking methods that are unique to industrial environments as well as those that also apply to IT networks. The document, known as the “ATT&CK” framework, should account for the “full gamut of adversary behavior,” said Otis Alexander, one of the lead cybersecurity engineers who helps maintain it at MITRE Corp., a federally funded not-for-profit organization. The updated framework could be available to network defenders as soon as December. It will cover attacks against ICS protocols and ways in which hackers might hinder incident response, Alexander said at MITRE’s ATT&CKcon conference […]
