    A deep dive into multi-stage attacks and the need for complete visibility



    Multi-stage, heavily obfuscated ransomware and malware attacks are becoming increasingly common. Cybercriminals are now using sophisticated methods that involve a combination of techniques to evade detection and establish a strong presence within an organization’s network. These complex attacks make it incredibly challenging for security teams to detect and respond promptly.

    Typically, these attacks begin with phishing or vulnerability exploitation to gain initial access. This is followed by lateral movement and privilege escalation, cumulating in data exfiltration and ransomware deployment. Recent data from Aggregated honeypot over a six-month period reveals that more than 50% of attacks focused on defense evasion. This data highlights the emphasis attackers place on bypassing security measures and obfuscating information, underscoring the need for organizations to prioritize robust detection and response strategies.
