This was a busy year for the Adversary Universe podcast. We covered the emergence of new adversaries, the weaponization of AI, critical CrowdStrike research, and how cyberattacks look in different regions of the world.

In November 2025, a major public-private sector collaboration took down three significant malware networks. Operation Endgame involved law enforcement agencies from six EU countries, Australia, Canada, the U.K., and the U.S., along with Europol and 30 private sector partners, including CrowdStrike. The dismantled infrastructure consisted of hundreds of thousands of infected computers containing several million stolen credentials.

The results of the 2025 MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise Evaluations are in and CrowdStrike excelled, achieving 100% detection, 100% protection, and zero false positives. The MITRE ATT&CK evaluation is an independent assessment that tests how cybersecurity products detect and stop real-world adversary behavior. The 2025 round was the most challenging cross-domain evaluation to date, a true platform test. For the first time, MITRE tested defenses across endpoint, identity, and cloud.

See how CrowdStrike Falcon Fusion SOAR Test Mode lets security teams validate workflows instantly—without live alerts or production risk. You’ll learn how to run playbooks end-to-end using past events or mock data, safely test high-cost actions like LLM analysis, and debug logic with full visibility. With built-in transform testing and mock inputs, Test Mode speeds up automation and reduces errors for faster, safer deployment.

The 2025 MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise Evaluations featured sophisticated cross-domain attacks from Scattered Spider, and CrowdStrike's Charlotte AI proved essential in delivering 100% detection and protection with zero false positives. Charlotte AI accelerated every stage of security operations with Agentic Detection Triage for instant verdicts, Agentic Response that investigates alerts like expert analysts, and command-line analysis in plain language.

The 2025 MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise Evaluations tested detecting malicious living-off-the-land attacks while avoiding false positives on legitimate tools. CrowdStrike delivered 100% detection and protection with zero false positives. Adversaries like Mustang Panda weaponize legitimate tools like PowerShell, WinRAR, and curl.exe while these same tools run legitimately across enterprises daily. You can't block these tools without collapsing operations.

Check out CrowdStrike's new lightboard video series breaking down the results of the 2025 MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise Evaluations where CrowdStrike excelled, achieving 100% detection, 100% protection, and zero false positives.

The 2025 MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise Evaluations challenged defenders with sophisticated malware analysis scenarios, and CrowdStrike delivered 100% detection and protection with zero false positives. Traditional malware analysis takes hours or days, but modern threats like Mustang Panda require instant answers: What does this file do? What family does it belong to?

For the first time, the 2025 MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise Evaluations tested cloud detection and response capabilities, and CrowdStrike delivered 100% detection and protection with zero false positives. The evaluation simulated Scattered Spider attacks achieving AWS admin access in under one minute. Traditional cloud security struggles with delayed log processing, but CrowdStrike's real-time cloud detection analyzes logs instantly for immediate visibility.
