Cyber Security Kill Chain and Emerging Technologies
Cybersecurity threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, rendering traditional defense mechanisms insufficient in combating modern adversaries. Attackers now employ advanced tactics that leverage automation, real-time exploitation, and stealth to circumvent static security measures. To address these challenges, organizations must embrace innovative technologies that redefine the Cyber Kill Chain (CKC) and bolster their security frameworks. This chapter explores a range of transformative technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), blockchain, deception technologies, edge computing, synthetic data and Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs), and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). These cutting-edge advancements provide defenders with the ability to respond more intelligently, efficiently, and effectively across every phase of the CKC.
AI leads the charge by automating threat detection, enhancing strategic defenses, and...
