Introduction: MITRE ATT&CK® is a globally-accessible framework of real-world adversary tactics and techniques. It helps security teams understand how attackers operate. Mapping ATT&CK techniques to specific sectors highlights how and why certain industries are targeted. Adversaries adapt their methods to each industry’s assets, users, and technology. For example, finance firms see rampant credential theft and scripting attacks, while healthcare is hit hard by phishing that leads to ransomware. Sector-specific mapping focuses defenses on the most likely attacks. This guide lists the top 5 ATT&CK techniques per industry, grouped by tactic, with official MITRE links and references to documented threat trends.
