Initial Access

To prevent threat actors from gaining initial access through phishing, organizations can implement

to authenticate email sources. In

addition, they can use

to prevent unauthorized use of their domain.

Execution

To stop the execution of malicious attachments in phishing emails, organizations can use systems to identify and isolate

suspicious content. For malicious links, they can deploy

to rewrite URLs and protect users from accessing harmful websites.

Privilege Escalation

To mitigate the risk of privilege escalation in case of a successful phishing attack, organizations can enforce

to limit users' access to

sensitive information. They should also regularly review

to ensure that access rights are up$-$to$-$date.

Evasion

To counter evasion techniques used by attackers, organizations can deploy

solutions to detect and respond to malicious activities in

real$-$time. They can also implement

to monitor network traffic and detect any unusual patterns.

C$2$

To disrupt command and control communication between the compromised system and the attacker, organizations can implement

to monitor network traffic. Additionally, they can apply

to restrict communication channels used by the attacker.

Persistence and Lateral Movement

To eliminate persistence mechanisms used by attackers, organizations can regularly update their

to fix known vulnerabilities. They

can also deploy

to ensure that access to sensitive data requires additional authentication.

Impair Process Controls and Inhibit Response Function

To hinder lateral movement within the network, organizations can enforce

to control the flow of data between systems. They can

use

to monitor for suspicious activities across the network.
