Malware doesn’t play by the rules, so today’s IT infrastructure needs to provide several layers of defense for end-users. Some of the more common devices used to protect modern networks are Intrusion Prevention systems (IPS) and Firewalls.
In recent years, there has been a lot of research on how evasion techniques bypass Intrusion Prevention systems (IPS) and firewall protections. It is important to understand the effects these evasion techniques have on the security posture of an organization and the layers required to continuously protect against them.
