Lloyds Banking Group, the largest UK retail and commercial financial services provider, has taken a significant step in the realm of cybersecurity by becoming the first UK financial services benefactor of MITRE ATT&CK. This partnership underscores the company's commitment to advancing open-source cyber defense tools and empowering defenders worldwide with access to shared knowledge of adversary behavior.

MITRE ATT&CK is a globally accessible knowledge base of adversary tactics and techniques based on real-world observations. The framework provides a unified language to describe and analyze adversary behavior across threat intelligence, detection, response, risk management, and policy. By adopting MITRE ATT&CK, Lloyds Banking Group aims to strengthen its cyber defense strategy and contribute to the broader cybersecurity ecosystem.

The partnership reflects Lloyds Banking Group's dedication to fostering a more resilient financial sector and beyond. "We are proud to become a benefactor of MITRE ATT&CK," said Matt Rowe, Chief Security Officer at Lloyds Banking Group. "This partnership reflects our deep commitment to advancing open-source cyber defense tools not just for our organization, but for the broader ecosystem of suppliers, SMEs, and industry peers who rely on them."

MITRE ATT&CK is an open and community-driven framework that brings together organizations and individuals to develop more effective cybersecurity strategies. By supporting MITRE ATT&CK, Lloyds Banking Group is helping to raise the bar for threat intelligence and resilience across the financial sector and beyond.

This initiative is part of Lloyds Banking Group's broader commitment to enhancing cybersecurity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In 2025, Lloyds Banking Group was named a National Ambassador of the National Cyber Resilience Centre Group (NCRCG), launching a dedicated campaign through its community of Relationship Managers to raise awareness of the CRCs' support offerings and promote cyber resilience as a critical priority for SME customers [1].
