Qilin and Warlock ransomware employ Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) techniques to disable EDR tools at the kernel level, followed by long delays before encryption. AppGuard stops both attacks in multiple ways through its launch, contain, and isolation controls — preventing malicious files from launching, blocking hijacked processes, and protecting critical registry keys. This layered defense stops the attacks early, before EDR blinding occurs and before the ransomware payload can execute.

The accidental leak of Anthropic’s full Claude Code source has given adversaries a complete white-box blueprint for hijacking autonomous AI coding agents on Windows workstations. Unlike typical desktop applications, these high-privilege tools carry outsized risk due to their broad legitimate behavior and frequent script-engine usage. Discover why EDR/XDR struggles to keep pace and how AppGuard’s launch, contain, and isolation controls deliver precise protection while preserving full developer productivity.

Chrome zero-days are a recurring reality. As detection-based EDR/XDR tools struggle to keep up, learn how AppGuard’s controls-based endpoint protection blocks the entire post-exploit kill chain—from process injection to credential theft—preventing damage from the endless stream of Chrome vulnerabilities.

EDR isn’t enough. Despite massive investments, 2025 breaches are shattering records, driven by a ‘one-two punch’: undetected initial intrusions and credential theft that blinds EDR. This post exposes the terrifying TTPs attackers use and reveals how proactive controls can finally deliver the knockout blow against advanced threats that your EDR keeps missing. Don’t be a sitting duck—learn to win.

When these trusted components are hijacked through design flaws, insider threats, or vulnerability exploits, traditional defenses often fall short. While some enterprises are forced to choose between inaction or complete shutdowns, advanced application control and containment solutions like AppGuard offer a vital third option: that can help mitigate risks in real-time without halting operations, thereby reducing the attack surface and empowering organizations to maintain business continuity amid severe threats.

Microsoft SharePoint Server is under siege from sophisticated zero-day exploits. Traditional detection tools are failing, leaving costly “detection gaps.” AppGuard, with its out-of-the-box, controls-based policies, stops every reported attack variant without requiring updates. It enforces zero-trust principles, blocking malicious post-exploit activities, ensuring your SharePoint environment remains secure.

One web browser for all web browsing can expose employer secrets and assets to greater risks. Three web browsers can be more secure than one by separating sensitive work from less sensitive work and from personal activities. Adding AppGuard to your endpoints, protects them from attacks, protects web browsers from their PC, protects PCs from their web browsers, and protects web browsers from other web browsers.

Like countless other malware samples, AppGuard stops attacks featuring Mallox ransomware by not allowing the actions it must successfully complete to achieve its goals. This blog post walks readers through how one predicts the outcome when malware runs on a host with controls-based endpoint protection such as AppGuard. Readers will also gain a better understanding of how detection-based anti-malware (AV, EDR, XDR, etc) differ from controls-based endpoint protection such as AppGuard.

There are many pedantic frameworks about applying zero trust principles to rein in exorbitant cyber defense costs. The zero trust concept can be simpler than you might realize. Consider the use of devices (PCs, servers), networks, and cloud infrastructure: for every action allowed, something could go terribly wrong that requires somebody to respond when it […]

The CVE-2021-44228 vulnerability reported in an Apache library known as “Log4j” affects numerous products and cloud services across the Internet that leverage Apache. Organizations with vulnerable servers can be confident that AppGuard can help protect them from the effects of ensuing attacks.
