**Understand > Decide > Act** The kill chain is a term used by members of the militia and Department of Defense to refer to the sequence of: 1. Understand the situation 2. Decide what you want to do 3. Act in a way that achieves the desire effect Note: this is the definition used in the book, but not perfectly aligned with what I find elsewhere. Elsewhere it has more steps, or is more cyber-attack focused. Loosely they fit the concept. **** # More ## Source - [[The Kill Chain (book)]] ## Related
