Network Security / Threat Detection
With nearly 80% of cyber threats now imitating legitimate user actions, how can leading Security Operations Centers (SOCs) distinguish between authentic traffic and potential hazards? What options remain when traditional firewalls and endpoint detection and response (EDR) systems fail to identify critical threats facing your organization? Verizon’s latest Data Breach Investigations report reveals a troubling increase in breaches at edge devices and VPN gateways, rising from 3% to 22%. EDR tools are increasingly challenged by zero-day exploits, living-off-the-land tactics, and malware-free attacks. According to CrowdStrike’s 2025 Global Threat Report, almost 80% of identified threats employ malware-free techniques that closely resemble typical user behavior. Conventional detection methods are no longer adequate as threat actors evolve, frequently utilizing sophisticated methods like credential theft or DLL hijacking to evade detection. In light of this, security operations centers (SOCs) are adopting a multi-layered…
