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.
