The IT Director

Best-in-class endpoint protection. Nation-state actor inside.

The assumption

We have best-in-class endpoint protection. Our SOC monitors twenty-four by seven.

The reality

A nation-state actor compromises an employee's laptop through a weaponized document, escalates to domain admin using legitimate credentials and legitimate tools, and has full access to your document management system for six months. The endpoint protection never detects the intrusion because no malware was involved. The attacker used your own tools against you. Your SOC saw normal activity because the activity was normal. The credentials were real.

With Echoron

Silicon Wall detects anomalous system behavior the moment privilege escalation occurs. Not by recognizing the attack, but by observing from below the layer the attacker's privilege extends into. It does not depend on any compromised software layer to tell the truth.
