Department Summary:

The CI Assessments, Analytics, and Resiliency (L541) department is focused on defending and strengthening our nation's critical infrastructure.

L541 supports a full range of defensive operations and activities including threat-informed risk assessment and mitigation, adversary hunting, and detection engineering with a special focus on operational technology (OT).

It is the expertise in OT and knowledge of threats and security controls and technique that differentiates the department's work from traditional information technology cybersecurity.

L541 also brings this specialized knowledge to other domains of security and safety engineering including resilience engineering and infrastructure susceptibility assessments.

The department is continuously developing, refining, and tailoring capabilities to meet the needs and special requirements and constraints when working with operational technologies in critical infrastructure.

The department moves the state of the art in securing CI by sharing our thought leadership both within and outside of MITRE via TEMs, conferences, presentations, and publications.

This is how the CI Assessments, Analytics, and Resiliency department helps create a world with safe and resilient cyber infrastructure.
