Admin By Request (ABR) is a Privilege Access Management (PAM) tool designed for managing local administrator privileges. Granting permanent administrator rights can expose organizations to malware, privilege misuse, and compliance risks. Admin By Request addresses this by allowing users to request temporary, audited admin access when needed, eliminating the need for permanent local administrator rights. […]

Defense evasion techniques are methods that threat actors use to conceal their presence, bypass security mechanisms, and operate undetected on compromised systems. By evading detection, adversaries can maintain persistence and continue malicious activity even during active monitoring or security scans. Common defense evasion methods include disabling or uninstalling security tools, tampering with event logs, obfuscating […]
