The Rise of Cross-Domain Attacks Demands a Unified Defense

Category	Details
Adversaries’ Approach	Modern adversaries use malware-free techniques, stolen credentials, and legitimate tools to infiltrate systems, move laterally, and access critical applications.
Speed of Attacks	eCrime breakout time averages 62 minutes, with rapid escalation from initial intrusion to lateral movement.
Cross-Domain Threats	Adversaries pivot across endpoint, identity, and cloud domains to exploit security gaps, avoiding traditional detection methods.
Adversary Case Study	PUNK SPIDER exploited CVE-2024-3400 in a VPN appliance, used RDP for lateral movement, attempted to escalate privileges, and employed ransomware for data exfiltration attempts.
Detection and Response	CrowdStrike Falcon blocked privilege escalation, data exfiltration, and ransomware deployment with real-time threat detection and containment.
Unified Cybersecurity	A unified platform integrates endpoint, identity, and cloud data for comprehensive, real-time visibility, improving detection speed and accuracy.
AI and Machine Learning Role	Advanced analytics and AI-driven platforms detect unseen patterns, learn from evolving threats, and adapt to modern adversaries’ tactics.
CrowdStrike Falcon Platform	Combines endpoint security, identity protection, and cloud security with 24/7 threat hunting to provide a unified, AI-driven defense against cross-domain attacks.
Benefits of Unified Security Platforms	Reduces operational complexity, enhances detection accuracy, lowers costs, and offers scalable, comprehensive threat mitigation capabilities.
Additional Resources	Cyber Threat Summit on demand, Cross-Domain Attacks eBook, Pegasystems case study, CrowdStrike’s EPP leadership report.
