By doing this, Intercept X stops all those exploit-based attacks right at the doorstep of the endpoints.
6. Active Adversary Mitigations
   Intercept X never incorporates before seen techniques to identify and prevent any form of credential theft or code cave utilization, which are usually very safe havens for attackers owing to their ability to remain undetected in the victim’s network. As a result, these malicious techniques are dangerous way beyond malware and ransomware due to its ability to make the attackers look like legitimate users in the network. Intercept X detects their presence easily in a network and prevents all sorts of attacks on endpoints.
