All Stellar Cyber Alert types are aligned to the XDR Kill Chain out of the box, so you can start detecting full attack progressions, immediately.

XDR Kill Chain Design Older kill chains, like the Lockheed Martin Cyber Kill Chain, are outdated, but newer frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, while powerful, do not fully characterize attacks in a way that an XDR platform requires. The XDR Kill Chain solves these problems and is purpose-built for XDR.

The XDR Kill Chain comes with robust tagging functionality built in so analysts can further organize Alerts for prioritization. ### Intuitive to Understand Five top-level stages wrap dozens of MITRE ATT&CK’s tactics and hundreds of detailed techniques so security analysts can better mentally position Alerts in the broader context of risk and attacks. ### Delineates External vs. Internal Alerts Alerts that represent activity via external actors vs. internal actors significantly affect prioritization. The XDR Kill Chain tags Alerts accordingly to make it easy to understand context and generate Cases more effectively.
