The Center for Threat-Informed Defense

An R&D organization focused on advancing the state of the art and the state of the practice in threat-informed defense.

Changing the Game on the Adversary

The Center is a non-profit, privately funded research and development organization operated by MITRE Engenuity. The Center’s mission is to advance the state of the art and the state of the practice in threat-informed defense globally.

Comprised of participant organizations from around the globe with highly sophisticated security teams, the Center builds on MITRE ATT&CK®, an important foundation for threat-informed defense used by security teams and vendors in their enterprise security operations.

THE RESULTS OF OUR RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS ARE FREELY AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC.
