Title: Detecting Signature-Less malware Faster: Why Live Memory Analysis is Critical
Abstract: It is widely known that perimeter defenses are inadequate protection against today’s advanced threats. There is an increasing gap in traditional signature-based defenses as attackers continuously use new, hard-to-detect method to compromise hosts, establish a hidden presence on target systems, and exfiltrate sensitive data out of organizations. Because attackers leverage several established, well exploited antivirus (AV) evasion techniques, the detection rate and effectiveness of traditional AV is significantly reduced and endpoints are left to vulnerable to unpatched or unknown vulnerabilities. In this session, RSA will discuss why automating the detection of anomalies within applications and memory is a critical element to gaining complete visibility in your environment.
