Insider Threat TTP Knowledge Base v2.0.0

The Insider Threat Knowledge Base is created and maintained by the MITRE Engenuity Center for Threat-Informed Defense. The Knowledge Base is an emergent resource that aims to advance our collective understanding of the technical mechanisms that insider threat actors use. This website documents the tactics, techniques, and procedures discovered by organizations who contributed data to this research project.
