Seceon helps organizations defend against these advanced threats through its AI-driven aiSIEM and aiXDR platforms. By analyzing execution behavior, abnormal process activity, and suspicious network communication, Seceon enables faster detection of stealthy attacks that exploit trusted applications and legitimate Windows processes.The recent DigiCert screensaver-based cyberattack highlights how attackers are abusing trusted file formats to bypass traditional security defenses. Threat actors reportedly used a malicious .scr screensaver file disguised as a harmless screenshot to compromise internal systems and obtain EV code-signing certificates. These stolen certificates were later used to sign malware, increasing the attack’s credibility and evasion capability. Call Us: [phone]
