Modern attacks aren't about malware anymore — they're about abusing your own trusted tools. Bitdefender's free assessment reveals exactly where your internal attack surface is vulnerable.
Your Biggest Risk Isn't New Malware — It's Attackers Using Your Own Tools Against You
Modern attacks are increasingly automated and AI-enabled. Instead of downloading malware, they simply abuse excessive access to trusted tools like PowerShell or WMIC to blend in with normal activity and advance their attack. This is the new reality of 'living off the land' tactics.
- • 84% of attacks now abuse legitimate tools to evade detection
- • Up to 95% of access to risky tools is unnecessary
- • There are 133 unique Living Off The Land Binaries in a fresh Windows 11 install
- • Reactive detection is too slow to keep up with the speed of attacks
