Real-World Cyberattack Examples by Kill Chain Stage

🎙️ ESPIRIDI Substack Podcast | Episode Title: Real-World Cyberattack Examples by Kill Chain Stage

Description:
Cyberattacks don’t just happen—they unfold in stages. In this episode of the ESPIRIDI Substack Podcast, we decode the anatomy of major cyber breaches through the lens of the Cyber Kill Chain, a framework developed by Lockheed Martin that maps cyberattacks across seven distinct phases: Reconnaissance, Weaponization, Delivery, Exploitation, Installation, Command & Control, and Actions on Objectives.

Hosted by Lynn Frederick Dsouza, this episode breaks down how notorious cyber incidents like the Target breach and the SolarWinds hack progressed through each stage—and what defenders could have done to stop them. We also explore how Artificial Intelligence is transforming cyber defense through predictive threat detection, automated mitigation, and real-time response across the Kill Chain.

🧠 What you’ll learn:
🔍 How attackers move step-by-step through the Cyber Kill Chain
🧰 Practical use of the framework in threat hunting and incident response
💡 Real-world case studies that bring theory to life
🤖 The growing role of AI in disrupting cyberattacks before they escalate

Whether you’re a cybersecurity analyst, a tech policymaker, or a business leader navigating digital risks, this episode delivers tactical insight into modern cyber defense.
