Data AnalysisPractice documented: MITRE's Center for Threat-Informed Defense offers TRAM (Threat Report ATT&CK Mapper), an open-source tool that uses machine learning and large language models to automatically identify and classify adversary tactics and techniques in cybersecurity threat intelligence reports. The tool assists security analysts who previously had to map reports manually.

ProductivityPractice documented: MITRE deployed an internal generative AI tool called MITREChatGPT — built on OpenAI's GPT-4 — for use by its approximately 10,000 employees starting in May 2023. The tool helps staff research, write reports, generate code, and analyze large policy and legislative documents significantly faster than before.

OtherPractice documented: MITRE announced in December 2025 that it will operate two new AI Economic Security Centers on behalf of NIST, funded by a $20 million NIST investment, focused on applying AI to U.S. manufacturing productivity and securing critical infrastructure from cyberthreats. Both centers will leverage MITRE's Federal AI Sandbox and existing tools.

The lab uses simulated environments, AI red teaming, and large language model evaluation to identify security, bias, and performance risks before agencies adopt AI systems.
The lab features configurable physical space accommodating up to 50 people in person and 4,000 via remote connections, tailored for specific mission scenarios. It offers capabilities including AI red teaming, large language model evaluation, human-in-the-loop experimentation, and assurance plan development. Federal agencies can bring their AI-enabled systems to the lab to assess whether systems perform effectively, consistently, and safely, and to test for harmful bias and security vulnerabilities. MITRE uses a proprietary AI Assurance Process consistent with existing engineering standards for risk assessment. The lab is intended for consequential applications including national security, healthcare, and transportation.

The AI Economic Security Center for U.S. Manufacturing Productivity focuses on strengthening U.S. manufacturing through AI-driven efficiency and quality improvements. The AI Economic Security Center to Secure U.S. Critical Infrastructure from Cyberthreats focuses on developing and adopting AI-driven tools and agents to protect critical infrastructure. Both centers will partner with NIST experts, industry, and academia, and will leverage MITRE's AI Lab, Federal AI Sandbox, and publicly available tools including ATLAS, CALDERA, and ATT&CK frameworks.
MITRE's Center for Threat-Informed Defense offers TRAM (Threat Report ATT&CK Mapper), an open-source tool that uses machine learning and large language models to automatically identify and classify adversary tactics and techniques in cybersecurity threat intelligence reports. The tool assists security analysts who previously had to map reports manually.
TRAM takes prose-based cyber threat intelligence (CTI) reports as input and outputs classifications mapping sentences or phrases to specific MITRE ATT&CK techniques. The latest version uses fine-tuned large language models to improve speed and accuracy of technique identification. The platform works out of the box to identify up to 50 common ATT&CK techniques and supports analyst validation of results. TRAM was developed in collaboration with industry partners including CrowdStrike, JPMorgan Chase, and HCA. The tool is freely available on GitHub and is actively maintained.
