TTP mapping and MITRE analysis

TTP mapping and MITRE analysis​

Overview​

This workflow automates comprehensive TTP (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures) analysis by leveraging AI-powered intelligence extraction to map security tools, malware families, and threat actor behaviors to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. It processes threat intelligence from multiple sources and generates detailed HTML reports containing technique mappings, attack chain analysis, and recommended mitigations for defensive planning.

How It Works​

  1. Intelligence Input Processing: Accepts multiple intelligence source formats including PDF threat reports, threat actor names, and web-based threat intelligence URLs through the input node for comprehensive TTP extraction.
  2. AI-Powered TTP Mapping: Executes the ttp-mapper threat intelligence tool to perform intelligent analysis of input data, automatically identifying security tools, malware families, and threat actor techniques with confidence scoring and MITRE ATT&CK framework correlation.
  3. Technique Correlation and Analysis: Processes intelligence to generate structured TTP mappings containing:
    • Tools with Technique Mappings: Identifies security tools (e.g., Mimikatz, Cobalt Strike, Impacket, Nmap, Metasploit) mapped to specific MITRE ATT&CK techniques with TTP IDs, technique names, intelligence sources, and confidence levels
    • Tools without Mappings: Catalogs identified tools lacking sufficient intelligence for technique correlation (e.g., Advanced IP Scanner, AnyDesk, SharpHound)
    • Malware Family Identification: Detects and catalogs malware families present in the threat intelligence (e.g., VIDAR, AsyncRAT)
  4. Strategic Attack Chain Analysis: Generates kill chain phase breakdown mapping identified TTPs to attack progression stages, providing visibility into threat actor methodologies and attack sequencing.
  5. Defensive Mitigation Recommendations: Produces phase-specific mitigation strategies with detailed defensive measures, control implementations, and security best practices for each stage of the attack chain.
  6. HTML Report Generation: Compiles all analysis results through AI agent to create comprehensive, structured HTML report presenting technique mappings, attack chain analysis, identified tools and malware, and prioritized mitigation recommendations.
  7. Email Report Delivery: Sends the detailed MITRE ATT&CK analysis report to designated security teams and threat intelligence analysts via email for defensive planning and threat hunting operations.

Who is this for?​

  • Threat intelligence analysts mapping adversary TTPs to MITRE ATT&CK framework for strategic analysis
  • Security operations teams requiring structured threat intelligence for detection engineering and threat hunting
  • Incident response teams analyzing attack patterns and identifying defensive gaps during investigations
  • Purple team operators planning exercises based on real-world threat actor techniques and tool usage
  • Security architects designing defensive controls mapped to specific MITRE ATT&CK techniques
  • SOC managers prioritizing detection and response capabilities based on threat intelligence analysis
  • Threat hunting teams building detection hypotheses from structured TTP intelligence

What problem does this workflow solve?​

  • Eliminates manual MITRE ATT&CK mapping by automatically extracting and correlating TTPs from unstructured threat intelligence sources
  • Provides comprehensive tool-to-technique visibility by identifying security tools and malware families with their associated MITRE framework mappings
  • Accelerates threat intelligence analysis by processing PDF reports, threat actor profiles, and web intelligence into structured TTP data with confidence scoring
  • Enables proactive defense planning through automated attack chain analysis and phase-specific mitigation recommendations
  • Reduces intelligence processing time from hours to minutes by automating TTP extraction, technique correlation, and strategic analysis generation
  • Standardizes threat intelligence consumption by converting diverse source formats into consistent MITRE ATT&CK framework mappings for defensive operations
