Ephemeral In-Memory Malware Common At High Value Targets

The article describes "Advanced Volatile Threats" (AVTs): ephemeral, memory-resident malware that leaves little persistent trace and is used in targeted intrusions to steal data from high-value organizations; it outlines how AVTs are delivered (often via exploits), why they evade traditional anti-malware, and how Triumfant updated its endpoint tooling to profile in-memory process behavior and detect anomalous activity.
