6/ Reality: $product misses memory-only attacks. We rely on people + other data + analysis to detect delivery, lateral movement, exfil.

2/ Detecting memory-only attacks as a forensic analyst is relatively easy. To do it automatically, accurately and at scale is non-trivial.

3/ If detecting memory-only attacks at scale was easy, we'd have a capable product and we wouldn't be having this dialog.

4/ The fundamental problem: For every clever technique that detects a class of attack, there will be an equally clever evasion.

5/ For the hardest and/or newest of problems, it will always be unrealistic to expect reliable detection from products alone.

7/ I agree that we need better memory-only detection, but I tend not to focus on product shortcomings unless said product promises as much.
