To help organizations better interpret the test, Red Canary has created an unbiased analysis of the MITRE ATT&CK results. This report provides the necessary context needed to understand the results and evaluate how different participants performed. Separately, experts have also provided a deep-dive technical analysis of Red Canary's performance, highlighting what they detected and how they responded to MITRE Engenuity's emulation activity.

"One of Red Canary's core values is our relentlessness in finding and stopping adversaries, which is why we were so excited to hear there would be an ATT&CK Evaluation of managed security service providers," said Brian Beyer, CEO and co-founder of Red Canary. "The MITRE ATT&CK test is a great resource for evaluating different providers and determining how they would help protect your organization in a real-world intrusion. All the participants should be commended for being transparent enough to take part in the evaluation."

"More than half of organizations use security service providers to protect their data and networks. We wanted to research how they are employing threat-informed defense practices for their clients," said Ashwin Radhakrishnan, general manager, ATT&CK Evaluations, MITRE Engenuity. "We don't rank the vendors in our evaluations. Organizations, however, can use the evaluations to determine which service providers may best address their own cybersecurity gaps and fit their particular business needs."

Red Canary is one of only two vendors to be a participant in the MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations for Managed Service Providers and is also listed as a "Leader" in the Forrester Wave™: Managed Detection And Response, Q1 2021. The impressive performance by Red Canary in the MITRE ATT&CK Evaluation comes on the heels of winning the Security Trailblazer award in the Microsoft Security Excellence Awards 2022.
