Kill Chain Analysis

A cybersecurity model that maps out the different stages of a cyberattack.

Understanding:


The Cyber Kill Chain is a model developed by Lockheed Martin to describe the stages of a cyber attack, from reconnaissance to data exfiltration.

Common Applications and Use Cases:


  • Threat Hunting – Identifies and mitigates attacks in progress.

  • Incident Response – Helps security teams analyze attack patterns.

  • Red Teaming & Penetration Testing – Simulates real-world cyber threats.

Best Practices and Security Considerations:


  • Implement Multi-Layered Security (Defense-in-Depth) – Blocks attacks at multiple stages.

  • Use Threat Intelligence Feeds – Improves detection.

  • Automate Detection & Response – Reduces attacker dwell time.
