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.

AppGuard joined its partner Cipher at the FinCyber Today event on 3 November 2021. Cipher delivered an informative demo of how to detect, stop and respond to a cyberattack. Overall, the conference featured prominent subject matter experts in cybersecurity sharing insights and recommendations with attendees.

Zero-day attacks, breaches due to missing patches, weaponized documents, drive-by downloads, and some code injections are examples of AppJacking. Read about the AppJacking concepts to understand better ways to mitigate these risks using Zero Trust principles within endpoints.

The files within your endpoint folders can hurt you. Enterprises need to supplement their detection-based defenses with tools that do not have to recognize malicious files to defeat them. This blog strives to explain to executives what their technical people need them to understand about other layers of protection that can mitigate these risks.
