DLL Side-Loading: How to Combat Threat Actor Evasion Techniques

CrowdStrike's blog discusses the evolving cybersecurity landscape and its strategies to combat threats such as DLL side-loading with advanced memory scanning, a technique that allows threat actors to execute malicious code through trusted executables with minimal detection. The Falcon platform's Advanced Memory Scanning (AMS) enhances protection by detecting malicious artifacts in memory and preventing execution earlier in the kill chain. This approach integrates Intel's Threat Detection Technology for high-performance scans without significant resource drain, ensuring up-to-date protection against sophisticated fileless attacks. Additionally, CrowdStrike's collaboration with Intel and the use of behavioral triggers and cloud-delivered updates further strengthens the platform's capability to safeguard against emerging threats. The blog highlights CrowdStrike's commitment to delivering comprehensive and efficient cybersecurity solutions by continuously adapting its detection and prevention technologies to thwart evolving tactics and techniques used by threat actors.
