# Manage techniques

# Manage techniques {#ariaid-title1}

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

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

Manage the techniques that have been imported from the MITRE
TAXII collections. The techniques contain various ways attackers have
developed to employ a given tactic. You can review and deactivate techniques that are not
relevant to your organization. In STIX, techniques are known as attack
patterns.

## Before you begin

Role required:

* sn_ti.admin: delete access
* sn_si.admin: create, write, delete access
* sn_ti.read: read access
* sn_ti.write: create, write access
{#view-techniques__ul_fnf_wxr_qmb}

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllThreat IntelligenceMITRE ATT\&CK RepositoryTechniques.  
   The list of techniques and subtechniques are now listed.
2. To review and deactivate techniques that are not relevant to your organization, go to the list view for the selected technique, and under the Active column, update the setting to false, and save the setting.  
   Deactivate the techniques that aren't used by the other objects in the MITRE-ATT\&CK repository.
3. To prioritize a technique, assign a priority in the Relevant Priority (Custom) field.  
   The base system relevant priority is set to none. The Relevant Priority (Custom) field is not imported from the MITRE-ATT\&CK TAXII collections but a custom field introduced in the ServiceNow AI Platform. You can use the relevant priority information to filter and prioritize techniques in the dashboards, during the data source mapping, or when analyzing the heat map. {#view-techniques__step_smx_jmp_trb}
{#view-techniques__step_smx_jmp_trb}
4. Click a technique to view all the associated information with this technique.  
   In the following illustration, you can view the details for each Account
   Access Removal technique, its ID, source, and other related
   information.  
   Note:  
   The Data Source: Data Component element introduced by MITRE replaces the previous Data Source field. Data component provides an extra sublayer of context to the data sources. If your MITRE-ATT\&CK repository contains the old TAXII collections, then you can view the Data Source field. Otherwise, you can view the data sources with the additional context of data components in the Data Source: Data Component field. You can view the new data component field only when the source is Enterprise ATT\&CK. For more information, see [data component mapping](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/wgYmS7ALki6yXpfsG71R9Q "Use the Data Component Mapping if you are using the latest TAXII collections, and you want to maintain a relationship between the data sources, data components, and the various techniques. Map the data sources with the additional context of data components that provides an extra sublayer of context to data sources that enable you to understand adversary behaviors in MITRE-ATT&CK better.").
5. To view how these objects are related, click Show Relationships.

## What to do next

You can [extend the
information](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/dT~jSmz3KJa2ydCaIr2maQ "Extend the MITRE-ATT&CK repository data in the ServiceNow AI Platform by enriching it.") in some of these related list objects. For example, you can
add new information for Group, Mitigation, and External References.
