EDR Killers Break Endpoint Visibility
Modern ransomware no longer evades EDR — it kills it.
🔺BYOVD techniques provide kernel-level access and allow attackers to terminate protected security processes
🔺ETW and AMSI tampering suppress telemetry before alerts can fire
🔺Once the EDR agent is disabled, endpoint visibility collapses
🔺Many ransomware playbooks now treat EDR neutralization as a default step
When endpoint-based detection is removed, SOC teams lose their primary telemetry source at the worst possible moment.
