👉 Attack Engineering is a cybersecurity discipline focused on understanding, predicting, and mitigating potential attack vectors by simulating real-world adversary tactics. It involves systematically analyzing how attackers might exploit vulnerabilities in systems, networks, or applications through techniques like social engineering, phishing, and reconnaissance. By modeling attacker behavior, identifying weaknesses in defenses, and testing resilience, engineers proactively strengthen security postures before threats materialize. This approach bridges the gap between theoretical vulnerabilities and practical exploitation, enabling organizations to defend against evolving threats by anticipating adversary strategies rather than reacting to breaches after they occur.
