The revised questionnaire asks more specific questions and removes duplicate ones. The form asks whether an incident involved malware, attempts to trick people, hacking techniques, or an insider threat. It also uses terms from MITRE ATT&CK, a catalog of attacker techniques.

This update aims to enable CISA to more easily compare reports, detect connections, and issue warnings to potential targets, thereby strengthening national defense.

By adopting MITRE ATT&CK language as a common framework, CISA can now cross-reference reports and identify when multiple victims are targeted by the same adversary campaign. This matters because coordinated attacks—such as nation-state campaigns or widespread ransomware operations—cause far greater harm when defenders cannot recognize the shared pattern early.
