Significance of Cyber Kill Chain

Cyber Kill Chain is important for the SOC analyst to have a better understanding of the stages of a cyber attack and to determine which action(s) the cyber attack starts with and which action(s) follows. The SOC analyst can use Cyber Kill Chain to analyze where in the cyber attack the acts of the attacker noticed on the systems occur. The Cyber Kill Chain enables the organization to determine where and how severe the security flaws are. Blueteams can identify areas where security measures are lacking based on these flaws and take the appropriate actions.

The Cyber Kill Chain and its significance are briefly discussed in this section of the course. The "Cyber Kill Chain Steps" are explained in the next section of the training.
