Attackers Are Trying to Take a Bite Out of the Apple

CrowdStrike's recent focus centers on enhancing cybersecurity for macOS environments amid increasing threats from cybercriminals targeting these systems, often due to their lacking endpoint monitoring compared to Windows systems. The attackers frequently employ phishing to capture credentials or exploit vulnerable infrastructures like VPNs without multifactor authentication, subsequently using native tools to move undetected within networks. CrowdStrike advises implementing stricter security controls, restricting Remote Desktop Protocol access, ensuring real-time event recording, and utilizing advanced triage tools to mitigate these threats. The company also highlights its Falcon platform's capabilities in providing comprehensive endpoint detection and response solutions to improve security readiness and incident response.
