This podcast episode outlines two crucial cybersecurity frameworks: NIST 800-61 Incident Response Lifecycle for managing the aftermath of an attack and Lockheed Martin's Cyber Kill Chain for proactively understanding and disrupting attack stages. The Cyber Kill Chain details seven phases of an attack, from reconnaissance to actions on objectives, providing preventative measures for each stage. The episode emphasizes that while NIST helps in reacting to breaches, the Cyber Kill Chain aims to stop them early. Ultimately, the podcast advocates for using both frameworks to create a robust security posture that both prevents and effectively responds to cyber threats.
