MITRE ATT&CK v19 Redefines How Defenders Model Modern Threats

MITRE ATT&CK v19 introduces one of the framework’s most significant structural changes in years, splitting the former Defense Evasion tactic into two clearer categories: Stealth and Defense Impairment. The release also expands coverage for AI-enabled adversary behavior, social engineering, and mobile detection strategies, while adding greater precision to ICS through new sub-techniques. Beyond taxonomy updates, v19 signals a broader evolution of threat modeling—toward more actionable, behavior-driven intelligence that reflects how attackers increasingly blend automation, deception, and cross-domain operations.

Prompt Engineering Demands Rigorous Evaluation

In the blog post “Prompt Engineering Requires Evaluation” on the Shostack + Associates website, the author argues that treating prompts for large language models (LLMs) merely as creative artefacts is insufficient. Engineering prompts properly demands structured evaluation frameworks — what the AI community calls “evals” — to test which prompt versions work better, with which models, and under which conditions. The post highlights that simply assuming a prompt is “good enough” creates risks when LLMs are integrated into production systems (e.g., for threat modeling). It advocates for measuring prompt performance, variation effects, and tool-chain dependencies (model, context, ancillary materials).  Ultimately the message is: prompt engineering should borrow disciplined practices from software engineering (versioning, testing, benchmarking) rather than relying on informal experimentation.  https://shostack.org/blog/prompt-enignieering-requires-evaluation/

OWASP ASVS 5.0 Released - Key Updates and What You Need to Know

The OWASP Foundation has released version 5.0 of the Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS), a major update to their security framework for web applications. This new version features restructured security requirements for better clarity, expanded guidance for cloud and API security, improved DevSecOps integration for CI/CD pipelines, updated threat modeling support, and enhanced compliance mapping with standards like NIST and PCI DSS. ASVS serves as a critical benchmark for developers building secure applications, penetration testers conducting security assessments, and auditors performing compliance reviews.  The standard is available for download from the OWASP ASVS project page, with organizations encouraged to integrate it into their software development lifecycles through code reviews and security testing tools. As a vendor-neutral, community-driven project, OWASP continues to welcome contributions to further develop the standard. This release represents an importa...
