Organizations that adopt —continuous verification, micro-segmentation, and assuming breach—are best positioned to resist the Baget exploit. Endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions with behavioral analysis (e.g., CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint) have shown high efficacy against known Baget variants, though novel variants still evade detection for days. | | Use private registries | For internal
