Combatting Living off the Land Cyberattacks

How cyberattackers exploit native tools — and how security teams can fight back

Attackers no longer need to bring malware to the fight — they use what’s already in your environment. Living off the Land (LOTL) attacks exploit trusted system tools like PowerShell, WMI, and SSH to move laterally, hide activity, and exfiltrate data — all while blending into normal operations. These stealthy, fileless techniques are now a hallmark of advanced threat groups across both cloud and on-prem environments.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How LOTL attacks infiltrate, persist, and spread through hybrid systems
  • Why major threat groups — from NotPetya to Volt Typhoon and BlackCat — rely on these techniques
  • The everyday binaries and scripts most often abused on Windows, Linux, and macOS
  • How to spot LOTL behavior early
  • Containment and segmentation strategies that instantly halt lateral movement
