How to Check If a Hacking Attack Is Happening Right Now?

By PLURA

“Invisible hacking threats could be happening right now.”

Hacking doesn’t usually happen all at once.
🔓 It often penetrates quietly and deeply, likely unnoticed somewhere inside your system.

  • A hacker might have already installed a backdoor.
  • Someone might be stealing your data at this very moment.
  • The real problem is that you may not even know it’s happening.

Why PLURA-XDR

“Is an attack happening right now?” You must be able to answer this question

The most important starting point for security is situational awareness.
Yet many security systems fail to show what’s happening in real time.

  • Logs accumulate, but analysis is slow.
  • Even when detected, response is manual.
  • Detection coverage is limited, and confirming whether an attack is in progress can take several hours or even days.

With this kind of approach, it’s virtually impossible to detect APT attacks, fileless attacks, or backdoor installations in real time.

PLURA-XDR is ready in just 1 minute

PLURA-XDR focuses on the essence of security:
“You must be able to detect if an attack is happening and immediately block it—automatically.”
This obvious yet difficult challenge is now reality.

  • Detection: Real-time analysis of logs, processes, files, networks, and more to identify suspicious activity within one minute
  • Analysis: Advanced threat recognition through correlation and pattern analysis, not just isolated events
  • Response: When hacker activity is detected, automatic isolation and blocking are triggered
  • Forensics: Automatically follows up with evidence collection and backdoor trace analysis

In just one minute, PLURA-XDR completes detection, blocking, and response.

🔍 Why automatic defense works within 1 minute

  1. Real-time Event Monitoring

    • PLURA-XDR captures every event occurring on servers and networks—such as processes, file creations/changes, and external connections—on a per-second basis.
    • Through automated correlation analysis, alerts are instantly triggered once anomaly thresholds are breached.

  2. Correlation-Based Threat Intelligence

    • Going beyond simple signature matching, PLURA-XDR cross-analyzes various logs such as process activities, network traffic, and file integrity to grasp overall attack indicators.
    • Correlation enables identification of intelligent attack patterns, even spotting previously unknown threats.

  3. Predefined Auto-Response Scenarios

    • For example, “If suspicious activity is detected under certain conditions, immediately block network access.”
      • With predefined auto-defense rules, protection mechanisms are triggered without human intervention.
    • Thanks to this automation, attacks can be blocked in under 1 minute.

💡 Real-World Implementation Cases

Case A: SQL Injection Attack → Automatic Blocking with PLURA-XDR

Company A’s Concerns

  • Despite long-standing preparations for SQL injection, hackers’ techniques are becoming more sophisticated.
  • Attacks occur regardless of domestic or overseas IPs, often targeting vulnerable hours like weekends or early mornings.
  • Even with 24/7 monitoring services outsourced to professionals, immediate blocking was difficult.
  • Operating an in-house 365-day monitoring team was unfeasible due to cost and staffing.

Response Strategy

  • A single successful SQL injection could lead to mass leakage of customer or confidential information.
  • As hackers use various evasion techniques, relying solely on pattern matching had limitations.
  • PLURA-XDR blocks the IP instantly upon detecting even a single attack attempt, swiftly defending against irregular patterns.
  • Combined with PLURA’s 24/7 CERT (Security Monitoring) service, additional intrusion or variant attacks can be monitored and blocked in real time.

Implementation Effect

  • Previously, countermeasures were only attempted after an attack was noticed,
  • But with PLURA-XDR, blocking, isolation, and report generation are completed before security personnel even arrive at work.
  • As a result, zero data breach incidents were achieved, significantly reducing weekend and holiday security gaps.

Case B: APT (Advanced Persistent Threat) → Behavior-Based Detection

Company B’s Concerns

  • Systems frequently experienced failures due to CPU overload, continuously exposing them to threats.
  • Investigations failed to determine the exact root cause of the CPU load.
  • Various antivirus solutions were tried but failed to detect the issue.
  • Reinstalling the system posed too much risk, making actual implementation difficult.
  • System failures on weekends required security staff to rush into work repeatedly.

Response Strategy

  • Modern APT attacks often don’t use known malware.
  • Script-based attacks using PowerShell, for example, are hard for antivirus software to detect.
  • PLURA-XDR detects abnormal behavior by comprehensively analyzing malware activities such as processes, files, and networks.
  • Based on the MITRE ATT&CK framework, detection results are presented using 6W1H, enabling security personnel to clearly understand the cause and respond quickly.

Implementation Effect

  • In the past, even after detecting signs of an attack, response was delayed.
  • After implementing PLURA-XDR, blocking and isolation were completed before work hours, and reports were automatically generated.
  • By resolving weekend and holiday security gaps, system failures were minimized and data breaches were prevented.

Now Is the Time for Automated Response

Hackers operate with automated attack tools—
Are we still manually checking logs and responding by hand?

PLURA-XDR begins its response even before a human notices.

  • Backdoor installation detection
  • Blocking unknown external connections
  • Tracing suspicious processes disguised as normal ones

All of these processes are handled in real time without human intervention.

Don’t Wait Any Longer

Hacking doesn’t explode suddenly—
It quietly infiltrates and then erupts unexpectedly.

This very moment might be the peak of an attack.
The most important thing is to clearly understand “what is happening right now.”
