Episode 37 — Detect Malware Delivery, Persistence Footholds, and Early Intrusion Indicators
Early detection is the key to minimizing the impact of a breach, and this episode focuses on spotting malware delivery and the persistence footholds an intruder uses to stay in your network. We describe common delivery paths like attachments and drive-by downloads, explaining how attackers establish persistence to survive system reboots. The discussion details early indicators of compromise, such as unusual processes, new services, and odd network connections. You will learn why attackers often hide within normal tools and scheduled tasks to avoid triggering traditional security software. We identify common pitfalls, such as treating early warning signs as mere "glitches" and delaying your professional response. This session provides the technical precision needed to validate alerts and isolate infected devices before a threat can spread laterally across your infrastructure.
