“Trend Micro was one of the companies that answered our call to the community when we began developing ATT&CK
for Containers through the Center for Threat-Informed Defense,” said Jen Burns, a lead
cybersecurity engineer at MITRE. “We are all working to help companies stay
protected against attacks using knowledge bases like ATT&CK as a common
language. Contributors like Trend Micro, with expertise and experience with
real-world attacks, help us support the security community in reaching that
goal.”

 

Trend
Micro provided evidence from real-world attacks to support seven MITRE
Techniques. Two of these techniques are new and unique to ATT&CK for
Containers. Businesses can use these techniques to better understand how
attackers are targeting container environments and how to protect from these
threats.

 

“It
has been a privilege to support MITRE through the development of their new
container framework,” said Wendy Moore, vice president of product marketing for
Trend Micro. “The extensive research community within Trend Micro is always
focused on helping protect our customers and the broader digital world from the
threats of today and tomorrow. We saw containers as a growing opportunity for
attackers several years ago and have worked hard to get ahead of these threats.
Partnerships like this with MITRE give our work a broader influence and we are
happy to support their efforts.”
