A previously unidentified cyberattack is quietly spreading through US businesses — and most security tools are not catching it. Researchers at ANY.RUN have identified a new backdoor called JS.MonoGlyphRAT, an advanced piece of malware delivered as an ordinary-looking JavaScript file disguised as a purchase order, quote, or business proposal.

How Leading Organizations Are Turning EDR Into Operational Resilience
Most organizations now recognize that endpoint protection alone is no longer sufficient. That’s why adoption of endpoint detection and response (EDR) has accelerated rapidly in recent years. Organizations understand that modern attacks move faster, evade traditional prevention controls, and require continuous visibility into suspicious activity across the environment. But owning EDR
