Industry leader supports MITRE’s open-source knowledge base to help organizations stay ahead of cyberattacks

Lloyds Banking Group has become the first U.K. financial services benefactor of MITRE ATT&CK® to help globally advance threat-informed defense.

The MITRE ATT&CK open-source framework enables organizations to understand how adversaries operate so they can better manage cyber risks and strengthen defenses. MITRE ATT&CK is a cornerstone of Lloyds Banking Group’s cyber defense strategy, providing a unified language to describe and analyze adversary behavior across threat intelligence, detection, response, risk management and policy.

“LBG is proud to become a benefactor of MITRE ATT&CK. This partnership reflects our deep commitment to advancing open-source cyber defense tools not just for our organization, but for the broader ecosystem of suppliers, SMEs, and industry peers who rely on them. By supporting MITRE’s globally respected framework, we’re helping to raise the bar for threat intelligence and resilience across the financial sector and beyond,” said Matt Rowe, chief security officer, Lloyds Banking Group

“By supporting MITRE ATT&CK’s mission to remain open, independent, and community-driven, Lloyds Banking Group is helping empower defenders worldwide with access to shared knowledge of adversary behavior,” said Wen Masters, vice president of cyber technologies, MITRE. “We’re grateful for their commitment to keeping ATT&CK agile and supporting the global community in strengthening threat-informed defense.”

Lloyds Banking Group is a long-standing partner of MITRE, including contributions to ATT&CKcon and MITRE’s collaborative research programs on the application of ATT&CK across the global cybersecurity community.
