Cyberattacks rarely happen in a single step. Most modern threats follow a structured sequence known as the Cyber Kill Chain, a cybersecurity framework originally developed by Lockheed Martin to help organizations identify, detect, and stop attacks before serious damage occurs.
The framework breaks a cyberattack into seven distinct stages, from initial reconnaissance to data theft or ransomware deployment. By understanding how attackers operate at each phase, security teams can improve threat detection, strengthen incident response, and disrupt attacks earlier in the attack lifecycle.
The Cyber Kill Chain provides a structured approach to understanding how cyberattacks unfold. Security teams only need to stop attackers at one stage to break the chain and prevent a successful breach.
Learn how attackers operate across every stage of the Cyber Kill Chain and build stronger, proactive defenses.
