Beyond checking boxes: Unlocking the full potential of MITRE ATT&CK with Google
This white paper explores how Google Cloud optimizes the use of the MITRE ATT\&CK framework beyond simple checklist mapping. It identifies common operational challenges—such as the illusion of 100% coverage, lack of prioritization, and static frameworks—and presents five strategies to overcome them. These include threat-based posture assessment, real-time prioritization, machine-learning-driven technique inference, ATT\&CK cloud matrix integration, and enhanced collaboration. Google's approach emphasizes automation, contextual threat modeling, and dynamic response, empowering SecOps teams to proactively detect, defend, and continuously improve their security posture.
