The Defender’s View
View through CrossRef
This chapter examines defensive cyber operations in a fashion similar to kill chain analysis. It presents an outline of how baseline network defense is done, and what technologies and techniques contribute to that mission. This includes memory forensics, penetration testing, and incident response. It shows as well how those efforts are likely to be insufficient, and how advanced states have an incentive to go further and intrude into other states’ networks for defensive reasons—operations that are sometimes called counter-computer network exploitation. It is these intrusions, which are genuinely defensive, that can be misperceived and interpreted as offensive intrusions—leading to a cycle of escalation.
