Recent reports indicate a worrying trend in cyber attacks, as malware free methods are on the rise, with CrowdStrike's analysis revealing 79% of detections in 2024 involved techniques that do not use traditional malware. These attacks exploit existing tools and processes within organizations, making them difficult to detect. With cloud services and remote management offering more vulnerabilities, adversaries using exploits, fileless techniques, and social engineering pose significant threats. Businesses need robust strategies to mitigate these increasingly stealthy attacks, which rely on misconfiguration and compromised credentials to operate undetected.
Attackers do not introduce external code, but instead abuse vulnerabilities in software, misconfigurations or compromised credentials to achieve their objectives.
Malware free attacks are stealthy, effective and difficult to attribute, allowing adversaries to cause damage and steal data without being spotted.
