# MITRE ATT&CK App Overview

## Overview

The MITRE Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common Knowledge (ATT&CK®) framework is a knowledge base that uses metadata codes to standardize and classify adversary goals (*tactics*) and offensive actions (*techniques*). The framework also classifies software tools and capabilities (s*oftware*) and sets of related intrusion activity (g*roups*). Users can enrich objects in ThreatConnect with Enterprise ATT&CK metadata via the Tags provided in the **MITRE ATT&CK** Source.

For more information about MITRE ATT&CK®, see the following resources:

- [MITRE ATT&CK website main page](https://attack.mitre.org/)
- [ATT&CK 101](https://medium.com/mitre-attack/att-ck-101-17074d3bc62)
- [Enterprise ATT&CK tactics](https://attack.mitre.org/tactics/enterprise/)
- [Enterprise ATT&CK techniques](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/enterprise/)

The articles in this category describe how to install the **MITRE ATT&CK** App via TC Exchange™, deploy the **MITRE ATT&CK** Source feed in ThreatConnect®, and view data created by the App.

NoteIf you are on a ThreatConnect instance with version 7.2 or newer installed and use the **MITRE ATT&CK** App version 2.0.3 or newer, the App will use system-generated [ATT&CK Tags](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/attack-tags) to identify techniques and sub-techniques associated with Intrusion Set, Malware, Tactic, and Tool Groups. This enables you to leverage the ThreatConnect [ATT&CK Visualizer](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/attack-visualizer) to further analyze the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) associated with Groups of those types.WarningBy default, the **MITRE ATT&CK 2.0.*x*** App overwrites all metadata (i.e., Attributes, Tags, Security Labels, Descriptions, etc.) for Groups in the selected owner that are included in the **MITRE ATT&CK** Source feed and deletes Groups that are *not* included in the Source feed when the corresponding Job runs. To prevent Groups that are not included in the **MITRE ATT&CK** Source feed from being deleted when the Job runs, set the Job's **Advanced Settings** parameter to **delete_enabled=false**, as detailed in [*MITRE ATT&CK Manual Job Configuration (Advanced Users Only)*](/v1/docs/mitre-attack-manual-job-configuration).
