Navigating Malware-Free Attacks

About this opportunity

We started with a simple question: what do modern attackers do? After analyzing over 700,000 security incidents, one technique was almost universally present: a staggering 84% of major attacks incorporated Living Off The Land (LOTL) tactics, using the same native tools and utilities your administrators use every day. If the tools are the same, how do you tell an attacker from a user? To find out, we turned our focus to legitimate usage data. By comparing this legitimate activity side-by-side with the malicious activity, we found quite a lot of interesting patterns.
