SSG coverage claim · MITRE ATLAS-mapped
Browse AI-system risk by MITRE ATLAS
Browse the MITRE ATLAS v2026.08 tactic & technique taxonomy for AI systems, alongside SSG's own derived coverage tier for each technique — see the methodology note below for exactly what that tier does and does not claim.
Adversaries may modify the configuration files for AI agents on a system. This allows malicious changes to persist beyond the life of a single agent and affects any agents that share the configuration.

Methodology. Catalog: MITRE ATLAS v2026.08 (atlas.mitre.org).
Coverage tiers are derived from MITRE's own published mitigation↔technique mappings — never hand-assigned per technique.
SSG's claim is limited to which ATLAS mitigations it implements as controls; it does not claim to cover ATLAS techniques directly.
A tier records which SSG control exists for a MITRE-published mitigation — it is not a statement about outcome, and it is not a certification, an audit result, or an endorsement by MITRE.
