2021: Development of the container matrix ATT & CK for Containers

On May 13, 2021, Trend Micro Incorporated announced its research and resource contribution to the development of the MITRE ATT & CK for Containers container matrix. Trend Micro's threat analytics division actively collaborated with the non-profit organization MITRE in the process of creating this matrix, conducting targeted studies - their results were subsequently used by the developers of ATT & CK for Containers.

Trend Micro was one of the companies that responded to our call to the IT community, which we distributed through the Threat Information Protection Center, starting the development of ATT & CK for Containers, "said Jen Burns, lead cybersecurity engineer at MITRE. - We are working to help companies stay protected from attacks by using ATT & CK knowledge bases as a common language. Participants in this work, including Trend Micro, have experience and knowledge about real attacks and help us support the security community to achieve our goals.

The Trend Micro company provided certificates on the real attacks for support of seven MITRE Techniques. Two of them are completely new and are present only in ATT & CK for Containers. Companies can use these methods to better understand how attackers choose container environments as a target and how to protect themselves from these threats.

It was a great honor for us to support MITRE in developing a container matrix, "said Wendy Moore, vice president of product marketing at Trend Micro. - The vast research community within Trend Micro is always focused on protecting customers and the entire digital world from current and future threats. For several years now, we have been considering containers as an object of growing interest among intruders, and therefore work hard to prevent possible threats in this direction. Partnerships like MITRE allow our work to have a stronger impact on the situation, so we are happy to join the project.
