How BYOS and other solutions would defend against an Eavesdropping Attack.
Attack Description:
Also known as sniffing or snooping, the attack involves intercepting, deleting, or modifying data that is transmitted between two devices.
Expected Result:
The traffic sent by the computer with BYOS software cannot be intercepted or eavesdropped by an attacker on the same network, whereas the traffic sent by the control computers can.
How will BYOS help you?
- Byos will not be fooled by this attack, and continue to send information to the intended entity.
How will a VPN help you?
- A VPN can still encrypt the outbound traffic, but it does not have the ability to prevent/detect/mitigate this attack. Also, an attacker controlling the network can drop the end-user's VPN traffic altogether, leaving the end-user with no protection.
How will an EDR help you?
- EDRs do not have the ability to prevent/detect/mitigate this attack.
How will SASE help you?
- SASE does not have the ability to prevent/detect/mitigate this attack.
