Scripting attacks are nearly as common as malware-based attacks in the United States and, according to the most recent Crowdstrike Global Threat Report, scripting is the most common attack vector in the EMEA region.

Python backdoor scripts are easy to find - a simple GitHub search turns up more than 200.

Scripting attacks are often used as the point of the spear for multi-layered attacks, in which the script downloads malware and installs it throughout the environment.

Scripting attacks often bypass traditional perimeter and EDR defenses.

The most efficient way to protect against scripting attacks is to adopt an identity-based zero trust approach.
