The Kill Switch – A Look into a Hackers Methodology

Overview

We’re kicking off a new series of blogs featuring some of the best live and recorded content from our consultants with Alex’s ‘The Kill Switch’ talk as seen at the Future of Cybersecurity Event. Alex talks us through a hackers methodology. Focusing on threat sources, threat actors and how to analyse said threats.

He then walks through the methodology known as ‘The Kill Chain’. If you’re not aware, the cyber kill chain is a series of steps that trace stages of a cyberattack from the early reconnaissance stages to the exfiltration of data. The kill chain helps us understand and combat Ransomware, security breaches, and advanced persistent attacks (APTs) – read more about APT’s on our Red Team Assessment Page.
