Defense Evasion Tactics

Definition

Defense evasion tactics are techniques employed by malicious actors to avoid detection by security systems and tools. These methods include obfuscating malware code, using legitimate system processes, disabling security software, or exploiting vulnerabilities to bypass firewalls and intrusion detection systems. The objective is to maintain persistence and execute harmful actions without triggering alerts. These tactics constantly evolve to counter new defenses.
