Security Frameworks
Beacon Standards is built on the foundation of industry-leading security frameworks. We leverage OWASP and MITRE ATT&CK to provide comprehensive, standardized security testing and vulnerability classification.
OWASP
Open Web Application Security Project
A nonprofit foundation dedicated to improving software security. OWASP provides freely-available articles, methodologies, documentation, tools, and technologies in the field of web application security.
Key Resources
OWASP Top 10
The most critical security risks to web applications
OWASP ASVS
Application Security Verification Standard
OWASP Testing Guide
Comprehensive manual for testing web application security
OWASP API Security
Top 10 API security risks and mitigations
Beacon Integration
- Web application vulnerability categorization
- API security testing standards
- Security testing methodologies
- Risk assessment frameworks
MITRE ATT&CK
MITRE Adversarial Tactics, Techniques & Common Knowledge
A globally-accessible knowledge base of adversary tactics and techniques based on real-world observations. The ATT&CK knowledge base is used as a foundation for the development of specific threat models and methodologies.
Key Resources
Enterprise ATT&CK
Tactics and techniques for enterprise environments
Cloud Matrix
Cloud-specific attack techniques for AWS, Azure, and GCP
Mobile ATT&CK
Mobile device security techniques
ICS ATT&CK
Industrial Control Systems security framework
Beacon Integration
- Threat actor behavior mapping
- Attack pattern identification
- Defense technique validation
- Incident response categorization
Why These Frameworks Matter
By building Beacon Standards on top of OWASP and MITRE ATT&CK, we ensure that our prioritization framework is grounded in real-world threat intelligence and industry best practices. This alignment means that organizations using Beacon Standards can:
- Speak the same language as security researchers and practitioners worldwide
- Map findings to well-understood attack patterns and vulnerabilities
- Leverage existing training materials and documentation
- Integrate seamlessly with other security tools and platforms
