MITRE knowledge base of real-world adversary tactics and techniques against AI-enabled systems, modelled on the ATT&CK structure. Current data: 1 matrix, 16 tactics, 84 techniques, 56 sub-techniques, 32 mitigations, 42 case studies.
Why it matters for NETEVO
MITRE ATLAS is the adversary-tradecraft layer of AI threat modelling. Modelled on the MITRE ATT&CK structure, it is a knowledge base of real-world adversary tactics and techniques against AI-enabled systems. Where OWASP names failure modes, ATLAS names adversary tradecraft — what an attacker does to realise a failure mode against an AI-enabled system. Its vocabulary covers the adversarial side of a threat narrative and complements OWASP's defensive failure-mode vocabulary.
Individual ATLAS techniques carry their own identifiers — for example AML.T0018 Backdoor ML Model, and the agentic-AI techniques added to the matrix through early 2026.
At the framework layer, ATLAS pairs with the MEASURE function of the NIST AI RMF: the NIST AI RMF establishes what to measure and manage; ATLAS establishes what adversaries are likely to do. The matrix is in an active expansion phase.
