AdversaryGraph vs ATT&CK Navigator

MITRE ATT&CK Navigator is the standard matrix/layer visualization tool for ATT&CK techniques. AdversaryGraph includes ATT&CK matrix and layer workflows, but its main value is upstream and downstream of the layer: ingesting evidence, mapping reports, comparing actors/reports, reviewing telemetry gaps, and exporting detection work.

Use Together

Use AdversaryGraph to create reviewed layers from reports, assets, malware analysis, attack simulations, or selected TTPs. Export the final layer to ATT&CK Navigator when the team wants a standard matrix artifact for sharing or presentation.

Boundary

AdversaryGraph should not claim to replace ATT&CK Navigator for pure ATT&CK layer review. It extends the workflow around the layer.
