OPPORTUNITY

How might we integrate the Mitre framework into our web app to strengthen our threat detection tools?

THE BEGINNING

It all began with this image and the word “MITRE”.

Our design lead sent a message asking me to figure out a way to implement MITRE into our platform. At first glance, the image was pretty daunting, a matrix of some sort with a bunch of colours. I was excited about this project as it was a rare opportunity to be involved in the zero-to-one effort of a new product from its early stages.
So I delved into the realm of cybersecurity in search of answers to some questions, such as what is MITRE? And how can we use it?

IMPACT

MITRE detection helped reduce noise by 80% and went on to become a key feature in the platform’s solution offering.

The feature allowed analysts to identify and remedy detection gaps and receive instant insights on correlation of different events. This went on to become a key feature in the company’s threat detection bundle and resulted in securing a partnership with Google Chronicle.

LEARNINGS

Articulating ideas

The role of UX goes beyond making decisions on the user experience. We form the bridge between product owners, stakeholders and engineers, visualising ideas and making sure everyone is on the same page.

Dive into data

Understanding the business landscape and basic knowledge of the product itself, helped me become a crucial part of the product design process. Due to the insights from my research, I could help define the value proposition through brainstorms with the rest of the team.
