CrowdStrike Certified Falcon Hunter (CCFH) — Question 88

Lateral movement through a victim environment is an example of which stage of the Cyber Kill Chain?

Answer options

• A. Command & Control
• B. Actions on Objectives
• C. Exploitation
• D. Delivery

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Command & Control, as this stage involves the attacker establishing a connection to the compromised environment to maneuver within it. The other options do not pertain to the ongoing manipulation and control of the compromised systems; Actions on Objectives focuses on achieving specific goals, Exploitation refers to gaining initial access, and Delivery is about sending the payload to the target.
