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.

Keeping abreast of EDR shortcomings via social media. LinkedIn: Sets the strategic stage, linking EDR challenges to business needs. Reddit: Grounds it in operational reality, showing the daily grind of detection. X: Adds technical depth, exposing why detection fails against sophisticated attacks. AppGuard offsets EDR shortcomings via endpoint attack surface reduction, restricting what malware can do.

Cybersecurity threats like supply chain attacks targeting developers are on the rise. Learn how application control and containment, particularly AppGuard, can balance security and developer flexibility, restrict what runs, and protect sensitive data. Discover the pros and cons of allow/deny lists, launch prohibition vs. containment, and the importance of isolation rules for a robust developer environment security strategy.

A sophisticated Phishing campaign targeting Microsoft 365 users is exploiting trusted infrastructure to bypass email security. Victims are tricked into calling fake support numbers, leading to the installation of stealer malware on their Windows machines. When email security fails, then more attacks reach the next typical line of defense, AV/EDR/XDR. Combine the social engineering with EDR/XDR weaknesses, any enterprise will wake up to a nightmare when these threat actors phish them. Unless, the enterprise deploys an additional layer of endpoint protection that does not employ any form of pattern-matching to detect malware. Instead, that layer employs controls-based protection that blocks what the malware needs to do despite it all.

Cyber threats are increasingly targeting port and shipping operations, with traditional antivirus (AV) and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions often failing to stop sophisticated attacks. Recent incidents have shown that ransomware can cause massive disruptions, affecting global supply chains. This blog post delves into why existing defenses fall short and how enhancing malware protection can safeguard against these evolving threats.

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.
