Diamond Model of Intrusion Analysis

The Diamond Model of Intrusion Analysis is a way to understand cyber threats by examining four key elements: the attacker (who is behind the threat), the victim (who is targeted), the infrastructure (tools and systems used), and the capabilities (techniques the attacker has). These four parts interact, helping analysts see how cyber attacks happen and how to defend against them. By understanding these connections, organizations can better detect, respond to, and prevent cyber intrusions. The model provides a structured approach to analyzing security incidents, focusing on relationships rather than just individual events.
