cynet-leader-in-the-2024-mitre-att-amp-ck-evaluation

In the dynamic world of cybersecurity, where threats are constantly evolving, it’s crucial to choose solutions that have proven their effectiveness in real-world conditions. In 2024, Cynet confidently solidified its leadership, achieving outstanding results in one of the most authoritative industry evaluations – MITRE ATT&CK.

This event not only confirmed the unique effectiveness of the Cynet platform but also highlighted its ability to provide high-quality, comprehensive protection, which is now available to businesses in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Georgia, and Azerbaijan.

NWU, as the official distributor of Cynet products in these countries, proudly offers its clients the opportunity to acquire these advanced solutions, receive qualified consultations, and comprehensive technical support. Our partnership ensures that your business gains access to tools that meet the highest global standards of cyber protection.

Why is MITRE ATT&CK Important for Your Business?

MITRE ATT&CK is not just a database, but an open and globally recognized framework that meticulously describes the tactics and techniques used by real cyberattacks and APT (Advanced Persistent Threat) groups. It’s a comprehensive resource that helps organizations understand the methods of attackers and build a more robust defense strategy.

MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK evaluations have become an industry standard for testing cybersecurity solutions. They are conducted under conditions as close as possible to real cyberattacks, mimicking the actions of well-known APT groups. In 2024, special emphasis was placed on simulating complex attacks using the techniques of the Turla group, known for its ability to evade detection. These tests are an extremely important benchmark for any organization aiming to objectively assess how prepared its systems are for real and sophisticated threats in the modern cyber landscape.

MITRE ATT&CK vs. Gartner Magic Quadrant: Differences in Evaluation Approach

It’s important to understand that MITRE ATT&CK evaluations and analytical tools like the Gartner Magic Quadrant, while both serving to inform about the cybersecurity market, use fundamentally different methodologies and provide different types of data. Understanding these distinctions helps in making more informed decisions:

  • MITRE ATT&CK focuses on the technical performance of solutions in conditions that closely mimic real-world attacks. It provides detailed, objective data on how a specific product detects, prevents, and responds to known attacker tactics and techniques. MITRE ATT&CK results show how well a product performs against specific threats in a controlled yet realistic environment. It’s a kind of “baptism by fire” for products.
  • In contrast, the Gartner Magic Quadrant evaluates solution providers based on their market position, “completeness of vision,” and “ability to execute.” This includes an analysis of the company’s strategy, financial standing, sales, marketing, innovativeness, customer support, and overall market trends. Gartner provides a high-level market overview, helping organizations understand who the leaders, challengers, visionaries, and niche players are, based on broader business metrics.

Thus, while MITRE ATT&CK provides a detailed understanding of *how* a product defends against specific threats, the Gartner Magic Quadrant helps understand the vendor’s *position* in the market and its *overall strategic value*. These two evaluations complement each other, offering a comprehensive view of a solution’s capabilities and its provider.

Cynet’s outstanding results in the MITRE ATT&CK 2024 evaluation demonstrate the platform’s superior technical effectiveness in countering real cyber threats, which is a critically important indicator for any organization seeking robust protection.

Cynet’s Outstanding Achievements in MITRE ATT&CK 2024: Facts That Speak for Themselves

Cynet’s results in the MITRE ATT&CK 2024 evaluation are not just impressive, but revolutionary, demonstrating the platform’s complete dominance in key aspects of cyber defense:

  • 100% Prevention: Cynet successfully blocked every single attack at its execution stage. This means no cyberattack could advance further along the infection chain.
  • 100% Visibility: The platform ensured complete detection of every stage of an attack, providing a detailed picture of the incident’s development. This is critically important for rapid response and investigation.
  • 100% Analytic Coverage: A detailed analysis of each incident was provided, including root causes and attack vectors. This allows organizations not only to respond but also to learn from incidents, improving their security architecture.
  • Zero False Positives: Cynet demonstrated absolute accuracy in threat detection, generating no “noisy” false positives. This minimizes the burden on security teams and prevents “alert fatigue.”

These achievements are especially important for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Georgia, and Azerbaijan, where companies often seek effective yet affordable solutions. Cynet has clearly demonstrated that reliable, multi-layered protection is possible without complex configuration, significant capital investment, or additional IT security staff resources.

Cynet’s Versatility: What Makes the Platform Unique and Special?

Cynet stands out among other solutions due to its integrated architecture, which combines key cybersecurity functions into a single platform. This is not just a collection of tools, but a synergistic system that provides an unprecedented level of protection:

  • EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response): For monitoring and protecting endpoints, detecting anomalous activity, and responding to threats directly on devices.
  • NDR (Network Detection and Response): For analyzing network traffic, detecting suspicious activity at the network level, and providing visibility between devices.
  • XDR (Extended Detection and Response): Consolidates data from EDR, NDR, and other sources (cloud environments, identity data, email), providing a holistic view of an attack and automating response steps. Cynet XDR not only blocks attacks but also analyzes their root causes, allowing for the detection of hidden threats and the prevention of future incidents.
  • Automation and Ease of Use: The Cynet platform is intuitive and accessible for businesses of all sizes, even for companies without dedicated IT security teams. For example, in Georgia and Azerbaijan, where resources may be limited, the platform helps businesses focus on their core objectives, effectively reducing cyberattack risks without unnecessary complexity.
