Building scenarios with MITRE ATT&CK Mobile

OWASP, secure development and the evidence behind controls.

Standards and evidence1 min readEditorial methods

ATT&CK Mobile helps describe threat behavior. Mapping a technique name to a product feature does not prove effectiveness in an application.

Evaluation approach

Define plausible attacker access first. Separate prevention, detection and investigation contributions for each relevant technique. Matrix inclusion does not imply equal importance for every application.

Application example

For a scenario involving collection and exfiltration, record where RASP signals appear, what the server restricts and which stages remain invisible.

Limits and considerations

An ATT&CK mapping is not certification. A supplier's support claim is not independent evidence against every variation.

Checks and decisions

  • Define attacker access
  • Link techniques to business loss
  • Record blind spots

Put a reproducible scenario behind each consequential coverage claim.
