threat intel
Unveiling malware behavior trends
Analysis of over 100,000 Windows malware samples identified defense evasion, privilege escalation, execution, and persistence as the most prevalent tactics and techniques observed in malware behavior. Key findings include widespread use of process injection, DLL side-loading, system binary proxies like Rundll32, and attempts to tamper with Windows Defender, alongside emerging abuse of vulnerable drivers for kernel-mode access and increased adoption of non-traditional scripting languages.
Why it matters: Detection engineers and security operations teams should prioritize detection coverage for defense evasion techniques (which triggered nearly 40% of behavior rules) and focus on techniques like DLL side-loading, process injection, and Defender tampering that are now common even in commodity malware.
