Initial Access: Servers are often the first point of entry for motivated attackers.

Specifically, we modeled across the MITRE tactics which we felt provides the best chances of early alerting and emphasized capturing actionable telemetry across these. As such, the endpoint visibility required to detect and prevent modern-day ransomware attacks was at the center of many of our design decisions for this release. To avoid security controls, we have often seen attackers leveraging machines with older operating systems inside our client’s environments.
