Protect Against Invisible Threats: Fileless Malware

March 15, 2018

2017 was the year of fileless malware: 77 percent of compromised attacks were deemed to be fileless and encompassed a rate of being nearly 10 times as successful as file-based attacks. Although security solutions are becoming more efficient at detecting threats, attackers are also becoming more sophisticated and persistent. By developing precisely targeted and stealthier malware, criminals gained the ability to penetrate a business’s networks and endpoints without leaving a trace. Their tactics evolved from using file-based malware to initiating attacks that operate on the memory level to avoid detection. Unlike traditional malware, these types of attacks do not have signatures, making them more difficult to detect and prevent.
