The only way to fully protect your software while it is running is to fully understand it. One of the most critical and challenging weaknesses in cybersecurity is the inability to protect software at runtime. Runtime is a vulnerable blind spot deep within the application infrastructure. Today’s cybersecurity tools still struggle to even see these attacks at this level, much less stop them in their tracks. The notorious SolarWinds attack cost nearly a trillion dollars. The accumulating burden of attacks like Hafnium, Colonial Pipeline, PrintNightmare, MS Exchange, McDonald’s, and Kaseya continue to cause exponential damage to global business and government. What do they all have in common? They were all targets of advanced adversarial techniques used to exploit server-based software applications.
