# Threat group to technique heatmap definition

# Threat group to technique heatmap definition {#ariaid-title1}

* Release version: Australia
* 
* Updated March 12, 2026

* ![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read

Define the threat group to technique heatmap definition so that on the heatmap you
can measure and detect the attack patterns that threat groups are using to attack your
organization. The probability of an attack using a particular technique increases when you
have a high number of attackers.

## Before you begin

Role required:

* sn_ti.admin, sn_si.admin: write access
* sn_ti.read: read access
{#threat-group-to-technique-heatmap-definition__ul_f4x_ww2_vrb}

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllThreat IntelligenceMITRE ATT\&CK AdministrationThreat Group-Technique Heat Map Definition.
2. Review the threat group to technique heatmap definition and customize the entries for your environment.  
   {#threat-group-to-technique-heatmap-definition__table_tm2_qx2_vrb__entry__2}

   | Field | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Number of Threat Groups (min range) | The minimum number of threat groups using a particular technique. |
   | Number of Threat Groups (max range) | The maximum number of threat groups using a particular technique. The probability of an attack using a particular technique increases when you have a high number of attackers. |
   | Heat Map Color | Color that is assigned to the threat group category. The color that you define is used to highlight the threat group category in the heat map. You can customize the colors using HEX codes and RGB(A) values. |
   | Text Color | Color that is assigned to the threat group text. The color that you define is used to highlight the threat groups in the heat map. You can customize the colors using HEX codes and RGB(A) values. |
   | Description | Description about the threat group range and definition. |
   [Table 1. Threat Group-Technique Heat Map Definitions]

   Note:  
   Ensure that you do not overlap the threat group count ranges if you customize the threat group range (min or max).
   The following illustration shows the threat group to technique heat map definitions list.
