Shifting Focus from Attack Surfaces to Attack Chains in Cybersecurity Testing

The article argues that focusing on individual attack techniques is insufficient, as real attackers use chained methods. It emphasizes the need for testing attack chains to identify gaps in security postures, particularly with AI-powered threats.

Security teams have gotten pretty good at testing against what can hurt them. Can this EDR agent catch this payload? Will my organization fail the phishing simulation? Does this SIEM rule fire on this particular technique? And, in more mature organizations, this testing happens continuously rather than as a one-off exercise.
