Attackers are increasingly bypassing traditional endpoint and malware-based defences, with roughly 79% of intrusions now malware-free according to CrowdStrike’s Global Threat Report. AI-assisted threat actors are evolving faster than conventional detection tools can keep pace with. This shift means Security Operations Centres must adopt multi-layered detection strategies that go beyond signature and file-based approaches.
Security Architect’s Take: Prioritise behavioural and identity-based detection controls — such as UEBA, cloud activity anomaly detection, and lateral movement monitoring — rather than relying solely on endpoint protection. Review your SOC detection coverage against MITRE ATT&CK techniques that require no malware, particularly living-off-the-land and credential-based attack chains.
