Today we operate in an environment that is constantly threatened by cyber-attacks. Increasingly attackers are now performing multistage incursions that exploit vulnerabilities, social engineering, data theft and spear-phishing techniques to create a persistent threat that is advanced, zero-day, and targeted. Regular publicity serves to highlight the frequency and impact of these advanced threats to organisations with analysts estimating that: • There is now over 1.4 billion pieces of malware programs out there. • 560,000 new pieces of malware are detected every day. • Every minut e, four companies fall victim to ransomware attacks. • Trojans account for 58% of all computer malware. People, process, and technology must now come together to protect individuals and organisations from Cyber-attacks. Detecting and containing these advanced threats requires a coordinated approach that utilises multi-layer countermeasure solutions to create a unified, proactive, and vigilant approach that provides security controls at all levels. Visibility is key to preventing, detecting, and containing a security threat, and, without complete visibility, harmful threats are left unchallenged. This means organisations are exposed and need to re-examine their exposure to reputational challenges and their ability to respond to potential crises.
