5 Key Findings on Advanced Threats
- 1. WHAT CAN YOU DO? 5 KEY FINDINGS ON ADVANCED THREATS Companies are dealing with growth in data and an expanding number of endpoints, servers and mobile devices. Managing disparate solutions and services can result in high costs, inefficient operational processes and mean threats remain undetected across the business. Security can’t afford to rely on organizations’ strained IT resources. Companies need a unified advanced threat protection solution to prevent, detect and remediate threats quickly across their network, endpoint and email without the headache of managing disparate technology. 40% ADVANCED THREATS AND DATA BREACHES ARE ON THE RISE Cybercriminals are employing stealthy, persistent methods to bypass traditional security defenses. Many companies are already compromised by advanced threats and don’t even know it. INCREASE OF ADVANCED ATTACKS Large companies saw a 40% increase of advanced attacks in 2014 over the previous year Source: 2015 ISTR Volume 20 CURRENT PREVENTION AND DETECTION METHODS FALL SHORT MORE TECHNOLOGY DOES NOT EQUAL BETTER DETECTION INCIDENT RESPONSE IS TAKING TOO LONG THE COST OF A DATA BREACH IS SIGNIFICANT When current prevention methods fail, the time it takes to detect and respond to threats have significant impact to the business. Companies are struggling to limit breach impact and contain exposure. Data is often not connected to and aware of what is happening inside different parts of the environment and coming from disparate vendor solutions. With all the data to sift through, companies are trying to determine where to spend their time. Many companies today are already compromised and don’t even know it. IT struggles to cope with the massive amounts of incidents, investigating too many false positives. Companies need a better way to correlate all the data from the external and internal threat intelligence so they can react quickly and identify and address their most severe incidents before it’s too late. Breaches cost organizations time to identify, respond and resolve threats. Investment in multiple technologies can be expensive and result in having to hire more staff to manage it all.
