In fact, I would argue that if you are not checking your network for beacon activity, you have a huge gap in your defenses that attackers will happily leverage. In this webcast, Chris Brenton will discuss the anatomy of beacons and why you need to be looking for them during a threat hunt. He also talks through the challenges of detecting beacons, and some tricks you can use.
