ILLUSIVE WHITEPAPER

The Largest Cyber Breach in U.S. History Explained

A Guide on Active Defense to Detect Lateral Movement of Nation-State Attackers

The largest cybersecurity breach of U.S. national security in history–the supply chain compromise of Solarwinds–went undetected by government security tools. Yet the tactics and techniques used by the adversaries are known and have been documented in the MITRE ATT&CK framework for years. So what went wrong?

This paper proposes a different approach to adversary detection by detecting the constants in a breach using the concept of active defense as described by the new MITRE Shield framework.
