AN1749: Analytic 1749
No standard detection method currently exists for this technique.
Analyst context for executives and security teams
AN1749 is a mobile ATT&CK detection analytic for Android where MITRE states that no standard detection method currently exists. The practical significance is not a ready-to-deploy detection, but a coverage gap: leaders and defenders should treat this as an area where local mobile telemetry, policy controls, and incident response procedures must be validated rather than assumed.
Executive priority
Because the official analytic provides no standard detection method, this should be handled as a risk and readiness question rather than a tooling checkbox. Security leaders should ask whether Android devices are in scope for monitoring, whether mobile incident response evidence can be collected, and whether compliance or resilience claims depend on detections that do not currently exist in a standardized ATT&CK form.
Technical view
For SOC, detection engineering, and IR teams, the key action is gap validation. Confirm what Android telemetry is available, what mobile device management or endpoint controls can observe, and whether any internal detections are mapped to the related detection strategy URL. Since no tactics, relationships, or detection logic are supplied, teams should avoid assuming ATT&CK-aligned coverage and should document local assumptions, data availability, and test evidence.
Likely telemetry
- Android device inventory and enrollment status
- Mobile device management or enterprise mobility management events
- Android security, application, and device configuration records where available
- Mobile endpoint or device health telemetry if deployed
- Incident response collection artifacts from Android devices
Detection direction
- Treat AN1749 as a detection gap marker, not as an implemented analytic.
- Validate whether Android telemetry is collected consistently across managed and unmanaged device populations.
- Document any local detection logic separately, including data sources, alert criteria, false-positive handling, and testing evidence.
- Identify blind spots caused by limited mobile logging, privacy constraints, bring-your-own-device scope, or lack of mobile endpoint coverage.
- Do not claim ATT&CK detection coverage from this object alone because the official detection field is not provided.
Mitigation priorities
- Prioritize Android asset visibility and ownership clarity before detection claims.
- Confirm mobile management, configuration, and response capabilities for in-scope Android devices.
- Define escalation and evidence-collection procedures for Android-related incidents.
- Use this analytic as an input to detection engineering backlog and compliance evidence gap tracking.
- Review coverage after MITRE or internal detection content becomes available.
Analyst notes and limits
The supplied ATT&CK object is a mobile detection analytic for Android with the official description: no standard detection method currently exists for this technique. No tactics, relationships, aliases, labels, or official detection logic were supplied. The value of this object is therefore in identifying a defensive validation gap, not in prescribing a specific detection.
This take is limited to the supplied STIX fields and external reference. It cannot identify the underlying technique details, adversary behavior, exploitation status, impact, or detection method because those fields and relationships were not provided. Local environment evidence is required to determine actual risk and coverage.

How security teams should use this page
Treat this object as behavior context, not an attribution claim. Validate the related groups, software, data sources, and mitigations against official ATT&CK relationships and your own telemetry before making control-coverage decisions.

Object version and sync metadata
The fields below describe the current mirrored snapshot. When Glexia retains multiple ATT&CK source imports, you can open the table to compare the same object across releases (hashes and MITRE timestamps). For MITRE’s own release notes and roadmap, see ATT&CK resources — Updates .
Imported snapshots across ATT&CK releases (1)
| Release | Bundle imported | Object version | Modified | Status | Raw hash |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 19.1 | 1.0 | Current bundle | 99e8f34f3575… |
Mirrored ATT&CK source object
The raw object is retained through the mirrored ATT&CK source bundle and object hash. The raw endpoint returns the exact object from the mirrored bundle when available.
External references and citations
MITRE external references are preserved separately from Glexia analysis so citations remain traceable to their original source records.
