Introducing the Cyber Kill Chain framework

The framework known as Cyber Kill Chain® (https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/capabilities/cyber/cyber-kill-chain.html) was developed by Lockheed Martin as part of its model to identify and prevent malicious activities and intrusions, also known as Intelligence Driven Defense.
