Exploit chain definition
Exploit chains (also known as vulnerability chains) are cyberattacks that group together multiple exploits to compromise a target. Cybercriminals use them to breach a device or system to greater success or impact compared to focusing on a single point of entry.
“The goal with exploit chain attacks is to gain kernel/root/system level access to compromise a system in order to execute an attack,” Forrester analyst Steve Turner tells CSO.
