Helsinki, Finland – April 04, 2022: WithSecure™, formerly known as F-Secure Business, has completed the latest MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK® Evaluation, marking WithSecure’s fourth time participating in this comprehensive series of tests.
MITRE Engenuity’s ATT&CK® Evaluations are independent evaluations of cyber security products to help government and industry make better decisions on how to combat security threats and improve the industry’s threat detection capabilities.
For the latest round, MITRE Engenuity’s ATT&CK® Evaluation focused on the Wizard Spider and Sandworm Team threat actors due to their involvement in ransomware attacks. – a known problem facing organizations of all sizes across the globe. The test pitted tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) associated with the two groups against WithSecure™ Elements Endpoint Detection and Response.
MITRE’s previous evaluations simulated attacks from other advanced persistent threats (APTs), including APT3, APT29, Carbanak, and FIN7.
According to WithSecure™ Head of Products for Business Security Leszek Tasiemski, independent evaluations such as MITRE Engenuity’s ATT&CK® Evaluation can help organizations learn how different products and services can stop threats such as ransomware.
“Understanding how different cyber security products protect organizations from different threats can be overwhelming for customers, especially when in relation to specific threats like ransomware,” he said. “MITRE Engenuity provides objective, realistic tests that help illustrate how different products and services work against specific threats. We’ve taken part in every ATT&CK Evaluation to make the workings of our security solutions simple and transparent to our customers.”
