July 2025: New features in M&NTIS Platform

We’re excited to announce the release of M&NTIS version v2025.07! This update brings powerful new features, extended integrations, and key platform improvements to enhance your security testing and training experience.

These new features significantly enhance the defensive training use case within M&NTIS. From improved visualization of attack timelines and enriched topologies to seamless access to integrated SIEM platforms and collaborative tools like Etherpad, defenders can now investigate, analyze, and respond to simulated threats in a more realistic and efficient environment.

Besides, the introduction of two new catalog types โ€” baseboxes and topologies โ€” lays the foundation for a brand-new use case: penetration testing and red team training. These catalogues allow users to spin up labs tailored to offensive tools and exploit testing.
