Paradigm shift in detecting cyber attacks
Every company is a target. Small businesses increasingly face the same cyber security risks as larger companies, with most organizations experiencing a data breach at least once a year. Any organization not running a breach detection solution or not having performed a recent investigation must, in this day and age, assume they’re in a post-breach state. It can be difficult for organizations to match the pace at which attacker groups evolve their techniques, tactics, and procedures, without them adopting a technology that automates threat identification.
Cyber security is in the midst of a paradigm shift. Targeted attacks are outmaneuvering the prevention and detection mechanisms that companies have in place. Endpoint protection solutions are incapable of detecting fileless attacks that are defined by behavior and the use of legitimate OS tools, rather than by a malicious program being installed on a machine. Detection technologies certainly detect suspicious events, but too often they fail to filter out noise from critical incidents, generating overwhelming numbers of alerts that have no hope of being processed.
