Believing that breaches are only major events We know from Verizon Data Breaches data over the last few years that the time between when an organization is infected and when you realize it has been infected is increasing. Cyber-attacks can be difficult to detect, and even when they are, it can be difficult to determine exactly what was compromised. Traditional security teams are designed to detect and alert on large scale incidents, leaving smaller events unnoticed. The problem is that these attacks can go undetected for longer periods of time and can actually cause more damage by slowly exfiltrating data. Early signs of an attack usually appear as a glitch in the system and are reported to the IT team to be added to their to-do list. However, by doing so, you are actually limiting your time to detect and respond to an attack in order to keep your information safe. How can this be avoided? Continuous and thorough monitoring is the most effective way to detect and deter a breach. By monitoring and reporting all anomalies to a single central point for analysis and inspection, you relieve the IT team of work and speed up response time.
