Your own devices can be used against you! How to prevent Living Off the Land (LOTL) attacks

This report explains Living off the Land (LOTL) attacks, where adversaries abuse legitimate system tools—especially PowerShell, WMI, and rundll32—to conduct fileless operations that evade traditional EDR/AV, maintain persistence, and exfiltrate data. It outlines why LOTL techniques are common and hard to detect or block in typical environments and presents ThreatLocker’s Application Allowlisting and Ringfencing as controls to constrain tool interactions and prevent unauthorized scripts or network access.
