Fileless Malware: The What & How
Fileless malware operates in a computer’s memory without leaving any trace on the hard drive as a type of malicious software. Fileless malware uses native and legitimate tools already present on a system to carry out an attack, making it difficult to detect. The attackers gain access to the victim’s system first and steal credentials, then creating a backdoor for persistent access. The malware then gathers data and transfers it out of the victim’s environment.
Security in OT (Operations Technology) Environment
Operational technologies include industrial control systems (ICS), which are used to control and monitor critical infrastructure, e.g., the power grid, water treatment plants, and transportation systems. ICS are often designed to be isolated from the internet and other networks, but this isolation is no longer sufficient to protect them from attack. In fact, many ICS are now connected to corporate networks, which makes them even more vulnerable
