MITRE Engenuity releases first ATT&CK evaluations for industrial control systems security tools
MITRE Engenuity released results from its first round of independent MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Evaluations for Industrial Control Systems (ICS). The evaluations examined how cybersecurity products from five ICS vendors detected the threat of Russian-linked Triton malware.
TRITON malware targets safety systems, preventing operators from responding to failures, hazards and other unsafe conditions, potentially causing physical destruction that can lead to fatal consequences. Russia’s Central Scientific Research Institute of Chemistry and Mechanics developed TRITON, which was used in an attack that shut down a Saudi refinery, leading the U.S. Department of Treasury to impose sanctions against the institute.
