As cyber threats grow in complexity, security teams find themselves struggling to distinguish true risk from the noise of relentless alerts. Today’s adversaries operate at a global scale and around the clock, targeting endpoints across Windows, Linux, and macOS environments with advanced ransomware and espionage techniques. In the recent 2024 MITRE ATT&CK® Enterprise Evaluation, Cybereason once again demonstrated why out-of-the-box detection coverage and operational efficiency matter more than ever.
This year’s MITRE evaluation focused on advanced ransomware threats - emulating CLOP, LockBit, and even DPRK-aligned adversaries - while testing solutions across Windows, Linux, and macOS environments.
Cybereason delivered 100% coverage across all executed* threat steps right out of the box, with zero configuration changes and no delayed detections. We also had a perfect 100% True Negative score and zero false positives. These results underscored Cybereason’s enduring capabilities.
The MITRE results highlight the strength of our patented MalOp™ (Malicious Operation) technology, powered by our Cross-Machine Correlation (CMC) engine and AI/ML-driven analytics.
The MalOp™ offers an operation-centric view of the entire attack narrative - correlating behaviors, users, machines, and timelines into one coherent story. For security teams struggling with alert fatigue, staffing shortages, and increasingly sophisticated threats, this level of clarity and accuracy is transformative. Rather than investigating each alert independently, analysts see the entire malicious operation at once. This reduces Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) by surfacing critical details immediately and eliminating the need for multiple SIEM queries or hours of manual correlation.
No Configuration Required, Zero False Positives: Cybereason achieved 100% detection coverage out of the box - no tuning, no delayed detections - and generated zero false positives. Analysts can trust that what they’re seeing is real and actionable, freeing them from exhausting dead-end investigations.
Improved Visibility Across All Environments: From Windows and Linux endpoints targeted by ransomware operators like CLOP and LockBit, to macOS systems facing DPRK-aligned attackers, the MalOp™ ensures full coverage. With our Cross-Machine Correlation engine processing 80 million events per second, adversaries find nowhere to hide.
Powered by Indicators of Behavior (IoBs): By focusing on IoBs - subtle chains of behavior that reveal malicious intent - rather than just static Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), Cybereason identifies emerging threats early, including never-before-seen attack patterns that bypass traditional defenses.
Escaping the Trap of Alert Fatigue and Burnout: Alert fatigue isn’t just a performance issue; it’s a morale issue. Overloaded analysts burn out quickly, increasing turnover and creating knowledge gaps that adversaries exploit. Our recent Security Operations Survey of 1200 global professionals shows teams miss up to 20% of attacks due to alert overload, and 16% of SOC professionals only handle about half of their weekly alert pipeline.
Your security team will spend less time sifting through false positives or incomplete evidence and more time on what matters - proactively defending the organization. Technology augments the team by automating correlation and triage, empowering even junior analysts to handle complex threats effectively.
Looking Forward: The evolving threat landscape - ransomware that goes beyond encryption, AI-driven social engineering, and localized attacker tactics - demands ever-evolving defenses. It’s no longer enough to rely on historical controls and signature-based detection. As adversaries adapt, security teams must embrace tools that provide holistic coverage, immediate context, and faster, more precise responses.
Cybereason’s future-ready solutions integrate EDR, EPP, and MDR services to provide 24x7 coverage. We combine powerful prevention and detection techniques, enabling teams to detect and stop the most complex ransomware attacks before critical data is encrypted. By correlating massive amounts of endpoint telemetry into a single MalOp, we enable defenders to stay ahead of adversaries rather than just reacting to them.
Conclusion
In the 2024 MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise Evaluation, Cybereason’s performance once again demonstrated that raw coverage numbers are only part of the story. True success lies in operational excellence - delivering out-of-the-box efficacy with no false positives, no delayed detections, and no configuration gymnastics. The MalOp™ is the key differentiator, providing an operation-centric approach that allows security teams to overcome alert fatigue, reduce dwell time, and enhance their resilience against the next generation of ransomware and beyond.
As threats evolve, so must our defenses. Cybereason’s solutions and the MalOp™ technology help organizations future-proof their security operations, ensuring they can defend with confidence, clarity, and efficiency - no matter what the adversary brings to the table.
