How Morphisec Helps: Morphisec’s AMTD doesn’t rely on static configurations. By constantly altering the memory structure and layout of systems, it reduces the likelihood that misconfigurations (such as weak policies or insufficient logging) will be the sole line of defense that an attacker can exploit. Attackers targeting misconfigurations would still face the challenge of an ever-changing attack surface.

How Morphisec Helps: Since AMTD is proactive and doesn’t rely on detecting attacks based on known patterns, it can protect systems even when certain parts of the infrastructure are not actively monitored by EDR/XDR. For example, legacy systems or applications that lack active monitoring are still shielded because AMTD protects against memory-based attacks and exploits, regardless of the endpoint’s specific configuration.

How Morphisec Helps: MTD mitigates the risk of attackers exploiting known vulnerabilities in EDR/XDR software or the endpoint. Even if an attacker has knowledge of a vulnerability, the dynamic nature of MTD continuously shifts where that vulnerability exists, making it extremely difficult to exploit effectively. This drastically reduces the attack surface for zero-day exploits and memory-based attacks.

How Morphisec Helps: Techniques like “living off the land” and fileless malware attacks often bypass traditional detection-based solutions like EDR/XDR. Morphisec’s AMTD operates at the memory level and can prevent fileless and in-memory attacks by making it difficult for these techniques to find a stable foothold in system memory. Even native tools like PowerShell or command-line scripts used maliciously are less likely to succeed because AMTD changes the underlying memory structure dynamically.

How Morphisec Helps: Attackers who aim to disable EDR/XDR agents will face greater challenges when AMTD is installed. Even if an attacker gains privileged access to an endpoint, AMTD makes it harder to exploit that access because the memory environment changes unpredictably. This makes attacks like privilege escalation and agent tampering significantly more difficult.

How Morphisec Helps: AMTD protects against lateral movement and insider threats by ensuring that attackers can’t easily navigate through an organization’s infrastructure. If an attacker gains access to one system, AMTD makes it more challenging for them to exploit that system to move to another part of the network, reducing the impact of insider threats.

How Morphisec Helps: Even if there’s a delay in EDR/XDR systems detecting an attack, Morphisec’s AMTD proactively prevents the attacker from successfully exploiting vulnerabilities or executing malicious code. This helps bridge the gap between detection and response, significantly reducing the time window in which an attacker can operate undetected.

How Morphisec Helps: C2 communication channels like DNS tunneling or steganography are still vulnerable if attackers cannot execute malware or exploits in the first place. By neutralizing attacks at the memory level, Morphisec’s AMTD helps ensure that attackers never gain the access they need to establish persistent C2 channels.

How Morphisec Helps: AMTD technology like Morphisec reduces the reliance on detection and response latency by focusing on proactive prevention. Since attackers are hindered by the constantly shifting memory landscape, they are less likely to achieve the persistence needed to capitalize on any latency in traditional EDR/XDR responses.

How Morphisec Helps: Even if a supply chain vulnerability is introduced via third-party software or hardware, AMTD makes it more difficult for attackers to exploit these vulnerabilities. AMTD’s randomized memory transformations prevent attackers from knowing where and how to trigger these vulnerabilities within a system.
