Last year's abrupt transition to working from home shifted certain security objectives in order to protect all the new remote endpoints.
Fileless malware attacks have grown in popularity largely due to their ability to evade detection by traditional endpoint protection.
"The attacks are coming on all fronts, as cybercriminals increasingly leverage fileless malware, cryptominers, encrypted attacks and more, and target users both at remote locations as well as corporate assets behind the traditional network perimeter.
