Enterprise ATT&CK only. Any Mobile or ICS rows on the same ATT&CK page are not carried.
Reach is how much of ATT&CK this malware touches. Coverage is how well defended each thing it does is, as a median per technique rather than a total — a total would just restate the reach. Each figure is ranked against all 825 ATT&CK software entries only where that population actually spreads. Where most of the population shares one value, a percentile would rank the tie instead of the entity, so the raw value is shown and no rank is claimed.
66th percentile · 66% of 825 ATT&CK software entries have this many Enterprise techniques or fewer.
80th percentile · 80% of 825 ATT&CK software entries have this many tactics spanned or fewer.
61% of the population shares a single value across only 22 distinct values, so a percentile here would rank the tie, not the entity.
85% of the population shares a single value across only 8 distinct values, so a percentile here would rank the tie, not the entity.
9th percentile · 91% of 825 ATT&CK software entries have more detection rules per technique.
72nd percentile · 72% of 825 ATT&CK software entries have this many atomic tests per technique or fewer.
54% of the population shares a single value across only 11 distinct values, so a percentile here would rank the tie, not the entity.
57th percentile · 57% of 825 ATT&CK software entries have this many mitigations per technique or fewer.
5 of 8 axes carry an honest rank on this page. Coverage medians are taken across this malware’s 15 Enterprise techniques.
Technique Campaign use over its cumulative rule count.
464 distinct rules cover the 15 techniques recorded for this malware. 257 Sigma · 207 Splunk.
