Attack Chains, Not Just Attack Surfaces: Why Testing Individual Techniques Misses the Point
Security teams typically validate individual defensive capabilities, such as endpoint detection and response (EDR) agent effectiveness, phishing simulation performance, and security information and event management (SIEM) rule coverage. The article argues this approach of testing isolated techniques misses the broader picture of how attackers chain multiple steps together to achieve their objectives.
Why it matters: Security practitioners must assess whether defenses can detect and stop complete attack sequences, not just isolated techniques, to identify critical gaps in their detection and response capabilities.
