CISA kiadja a kilakoltatási stratégiák eszközt az incidensekre való reagáláshoz

On July 30, 2025, CISA released the Eviction Strategies Tool, a free and open-source toolset built to help defenders through the containment and eviction phases of incident response — the difficult work of removing an adversary from a network after a breach. Developed for CISA by MITRE and published under the MIT License, it lets responders generate a tailored eviction plan in minutes rather than assembling one by hand under pressure.

Two components: Playbook-NG and COUN7ER

The tool has two parts. Playbook-NG is a stateless web application: a defender feeds in MITRE ATT&CK technique IDs or a free-text description of the observed adversary activity, and it returns a matched set of recommended countermeasures. Those recommendations are drawn from COUN7ER, a database of atomic, post-compromise countermeasures mapped to adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures. Together they turn scattered incident findings into a structured, repeatable response plan.

Built for real incidents

Plans export to JSON, Word, Excel, or Markdown, and a previously exported JSON plan can be re-uploaded so countermeasures refresh as new findings arrive. The application is stateless by design — nothing persists once you navigate away, which matters when handling sensitive incident data. CISA also ships curated templates that double as tabletop-exercise scenarios. You can use it hosted on CISA’s website or self-host it from the GitHub repository.

Why it matters

For SOC and incident-response teams, free and vendor-neutral tooling for the eviction stage — usually the most ad hoc part of a response — is a rare and welcome thing. Even outside an active incident, it is worth running through in a tabletop to pressure-test how your team would evict a real intruder.
