New Tool Traps Jitters to Detect Beacons

The article describes how attackers employ beaconing and jitter (randomized timing) to hide command-and-control communications and maintain persistent access, and explains detection challenges and mitigation approaches; Varonis' Jitter-Trap is presented as a behavior-based technique to help defenders spot these obfuscated beacon patterns before attackers can exfiltrate data or deploy destructive commands.
