👉 Kill engineering is a strategic approach used in cybersecurity to proactively identify, isolate, and neutralize potential threats or vulnerabilities within a system before they can be exploited by attackers. This process involves creating and deploying decoy systems, data, or services that mimic real assets, allowing security teams to observe and analyze attacker behavior in a controlled environment. By understanding how attackers might interact with these decoys, organizations can refine their defenses, patch vulnerabilities, and implement countermeasures to prevent actual breaches. Kill engineering is a proactive measure that enhances an organization's resilience against cyber threats by turning potential attack vectors into learning opportunities and strengthening overall security posture.
