In today’s threat landscape, it’s not a matter of if, but when a cyberattack will happen. How you respond to that attack is what truly matters. For this reason, cybersecurity efforts around threat detection and response are a top priority whether you’re a household brand or an up-and-coming business. But where do you start? What cybersecurity threats and solutions should you consider? How do you prioritize your cybersecurity efforts? To… Read More
In a rising tide of sophisticated cyberattacks across all sectors, in order to survive and thrive, organizations must implement advanced threat detection and response measures. The goal is to reduce the amount of time an adversary goes undetected in your environment, known as dwell time. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) has received a lot of attention, as it should. Endpoints are a critical part of a layered defense strategy. That… Read More
The ability to quickly and effectively respond to threats is an essential ingredient of any modern cybersecurity strategy. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, businesses are at risk because cyber criminals are able to bypass older security protocols. In fact, the average total cost of a ransomware breach has reached $4.62 million, according to IBM. Traditional tools are set up to respond after a compromise has occurred. The mindset… Read More
Without an effective cybersecurity threat detection and response (TDR) strategy in place, organizations put themselves at risk of severe disruption or even destruction when cyberattacks happen. It is a matter of when, not if—in 2022 alone, 76% of survey respondents experienced an attempted ransomware attack, with 64% experiencing a compromise. And word that you’re an easy mark spreads fast. Over two-thirds of those compromised experienced subsequent, multiple attacks. Plus, this… Read More
As workers and data become more distributed, bad actors are capitalizing on weak security points. In fact, Forbes reports that cyberattacks are nearly twice as frequent in 2023 as they were in 2022. Attacks are not only more frequent–they’re more costly. Verizon’s 2023 Data Breach Investigations Report reveals that the median cost to victims per ransomware incident more than doubled over the past two years to $26,000, with 95% of… Read More
Security tools are not a new thing. For example, antivirus has been around since the 1980s. While antivirus is the OG, the adversaries’ tactics and techniques have evolved way beyond what antivirus was created to protect. So endpoint detection and response (EDR) was born of necessity because we need to go past simply protecting users from downloading malicious files. Compounding this, the pandemic pushed people, data, and devices out of… Read More
Looking for a threat detection and response solution for your company often feels like drinking out of a fire hose. There are so many threat detection and response tools out there, and you may have no idea where to begin, especially given the bleak fact that 64% of businesses have experienced a cyber attack, and 50% will experience another one. You’ve got to arm yourself for the cyber battle. Often… Read More
The world of threat detection and response is broad, with many different components. And each of those components must work together to fully protect your business’s digital assets. Security and information event management (SIEM) and endpoint detection and response (EDR) are two pieces of the larger security puzzle. The ultimate goal is to eliminate dwell time (the amount of time an adversary goes undetected in your environment). While EDR and… Read More
Threat protection and threat detection are two essential elements of cybersecurity. “Protection” focuses on stopping threats, while “detection” is all about finding them. But neither protection nor detection can exist in a vacuum. The two have to work together—along with other strategic elements—to be effective. In fact, good threat protection is predicated on proper threat detection. And threat detection is meaningless without a way to protect one’s assets. Proper threat… Read More
Cyberattacks are the most nefarious and organized threats modern businesses face. With cyberattacks happening every 39 seconds, taking calculated measures to detect and neutralize threats before your systems are compromised is of the utmost importance. This is where threat detection and response comes into play. Threat detection is the ability to quickly and accurately identify threats to the endpoint, network, applications, or other assets. Threat response is the mitigation efforts… Read More
