Center for Threat-Informed Defense:

Benefactor Program

Benefactors Make a Positive Impact by Directly Funding Threat-Informed Defense Programs

The Benefactor Program enables the global community to advance critical, public interest cybersecurity programs such as MITRE ATT&CK®, Caldera™, MITRE Engage™, and the Center for Threat-Informed Defense through charitable giving. Our benefactors are globally recognized for supporting independent research in the public interest.​

Benefactor contributions advance MITRE ATT&CK, CALDERA, MITRE Engage, and Center for Threat-Informed Defense R&D 

MITRE ATT&CK

MITRE ATT&CK

ATT&CK is a freely available, community-driven knowledge base of adversary TTPs curated by MITRE. It is used globally to advance our shared understanding of adversary TTPs and empower defenders. ATT&CK shifts cyber defense to be behavior-based, supporting communication across teams, and enabling the community to get ahead of the adversary. Benefactors sustain and advance ATT&CK through their financial contributions, ensuring that the knowledge base evolves as cyber attackers evolve and our IT environment changes.

MITRE Caldera

MITRE Caldera

Caldera is the world’s leading open-source, scalable adversary emulation platform. With the ATT&CK knowledge base as its backbone, Caldera empowers cyber practitioners to save time, money, and energy through automated adversary emulation operations, security assessments, and red-teaming. Benefactor contributions will help sustain Caldera’s open-source operations and repositories and will further research and development to advance the state-of-the-art in adversary emulation.

MITRE Engage

MITRE Engage

Engage is a framework for planning and discussing adversary engagement activities. Engage maps to ATT&CK tactics and techniques to illuminate threat-informed opportunities for defensive activities. Engage enables defenders to Expose and Affect adversarial operations or to Elicit cyber threat intelligence from adversaries operating on defender-controlled networks. Overall, the technologies described in Engage drive up the costs, while driving down the value, of malicious cyber operations. Benefactor contributions will help Engage drive innovation in adversary engagement and ensure state-of-the-art guidance on the safe and effective use of these technologies is continuously available to the global cyber community.
MITRE Engenuity Center for Threat Informed Defense

Center for Threat-Informed Defense

The Center conducts public interest research to advance the shared understanding of adversary behaviors and systematically improve our collective ability to defend against those behaviors. The Center creates practical resources that are used by cybersecurity teams around the world, making cybersecurity more efficient and effective, while enabling innovation. Benefactors fund the Center’s public interest research.
