T1056 Input Capture Mappings

Intel Threat Detection Technology (TDT), combined with CrowdStrike Falcon Accelerated Memory Scanning (CAMS), enhances cybersecurity defenses by enabling faster, real-time detection of Input Capture exploits. This integrated solution strengthens CrowdStrike Falcon, improving its ability to detect and mitigate cyber threats earlier in the kill chain, all while minimizing system performance impact. Input Capture attacks involve adversaries using malicious software to intercept or record user inputs, such as keystrokes, mouse clicks, or other device interactions. These attacks are often used to steal sensitive data, such as login credentials, personal information, or other private data. The captured input can then be exfiltrated or used for further exploitation. Intel TDT plays a crucial role in identifying these threats by providing real-time telemetry on program execution, memory access, and control flow, enabling rapid detection of abnormal behaviors that may indicate the interception of user input or manipulation of input devices. Additionally, CAMS offloads the memory scanning workload from the CPU to the Intel Integrated GPU, allowing for faster, more efficient detection of malicious activity without degrading system performance. CAMS helps identify suspicious behaviors, such as unauthorized monitoring or logging of user inputs, providing proactive defense against evasive input capture techniques.
