Abstract
We analyzed APT attack cases that occurred overseas in the past using a cyber kill chain model and a TTP model. As a result of the analysis, we found that the cyber kill chain model is effective in figuring out the overall outline, but is not suitable for establishing a specific defense strategy, however, TTP model is suitable to have a practical defense system. Based on these analysis results, it is suggested that defense technology development which is based on TTP model to build defense-in-depth system for preparing cyber attacks.
