Malware Mechanics: Understanding What You’re Defending Against

Today’s malware is stealthy, sophisticated, and can wreak havoc on your network. But most malware relies on a core set of tools and libraries that get the malware in the door, allow it to persist, gather credentials, move laterally through your network, and ultimately steal your data or encrypt your servers. Learn how these tools work, the APIs they use, and the sorts of vulnerabilities they exploit so you can be better armed in your battle against the bad guys.
