You may have heard a lot lately about memory-based, fileless, and living-off-the-land attacks. Attackers are increasingly using these types of attacks because they work - they are less detectable by traditional antivirus (AV), and even by some next-gen AV solutions.
Because of this, the bad guys using this technique are more likely to succeed in their mission, which is to steal your stuff. The pressing question is: what does that mean for you and your network?
The bad news is that memory-based attacks are on the rise. The good news is that Cylance knows how to stop them.
In this week’s episode of DirtySecurity, Edward Preston chats with Cylance security engineer Josh Fu about fileless attacks. We’ll learn about what they are, why they are so prevalent, how they work, and most importantly, how to prevent them from wreaking havoc in your network.
