Introduction Security teams have become adept at identifying vulnerabilities that could compromise them. Run technique 1234, check if it's detected. This approach gives you concrete information, but it doesn't reveal whether an adversary who combines ten of these techniques, adapting each step based on what worked, could successfully navigate your environment without any individual control detecting an issue. According to Filigran's State of Threat Management report, 93% of security leaders report experiencing business-impacting cyberattacks within the past 12 months, despite most having validated their defenses at various points along the way.
Eighty-eight percent of these leaders acknowledge that AI is accelerating the speed at which attackers move once they gain access, and eighty-four percent point to siloed tools and disconnected testing as primary reasons for overlooking exposure until an incident occurs. Instead of testing techniques as isolated events, Attack Chaining links them into a live sequence: the real output of one action (a harvested credential, an open port, a token, a misconfigured permission) is captured automatically and used to decide what gets attacked next.
Recon reveals a target, a credential dump yields a password, that password unlocks the next machine, and the chain keeps building on whatever it actually finds in your environment, branching in real time on an interactive graph from initial access through to the final objective.
