Moving Away from Malware
Adversaries continue to show they have moved beyond malware. Attackers increasingly are trying to accomplish their objectives without writing malware to the endpoint, according to CrowdStrike. Rather, they have been seen using legitimate credentials and built-in tools — an approach known as living off the land (LOTL) — in a deliberate effort to evade detection by legacy antivirus products. Of all detections indexed by CrowdStrike Security Cloud in the fourth quarter of 2021, 62% were malware-free.
