ThreatGround 🛡️
Grounded threat-to-remediation data built from official public sources: MITRE ATT&CK, MITRE CWE, CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) and NIST NVD. Built 2026-09-27.
It links what attackers do (ATT&CK techniques), why software breaks (CWE weaknesses) and what is being exploited right now (KEV CVEs) to how to fix it (mitigations, remediation actions). Companion to cybersecurity-controls-instructions, using the same chat format and SecOpsBot system prompt so both can be trained together.

- Unanswerable rows (
answerable=False) teach the model to say when the excerpt doesn't contain the answer, for example asking about a different technique, or for a CVSS score that isn't present. root_cause_remediationrows combine a CVE with its CWE for cross-document reasoning.

Splits
Splits are assigned by entity (CVE / CWE / technique ID hash, 80/10/10), so the same entity never appears in more than one split. Shared reference documents (e.g. a CWE or mitigation) can appear across splits as supporting context.
