Living off the land attacks, or LOTL attacks, are a growing concern for IT departments because they are particularly difficult to detect and prevent. These attacks use legitimate software and functions already present in a system to perform malicious actions, making them harder to identify and stop than traditional malware attacks. This type of attack is particularly effective against organizations with limited security resources or those that have not implemented robust security protocols. IT departments need to be aware of LOTL attacks and take steps to protect their systems against them, such as implementing multifactor authentication, limiting user privileges, and regularly updating security software.
