In this video for Help Net Security, Mark Guntrip, Sr Director, Cybersecurity Strategy at Menlo Security, talks about highly evasive adaptive threats.
The start of a malware infection or a ransomware incident is the threat act of getting a foothold in a victim's network, and that's where HEAT attacks are used.
The traditional security stack hasn't changed much in over a decade.
The last new barrier to threats deployed en masse was the sandbox.
This means attackers have had a lot of time to figure out how to evade detection.
