Threat Hunting

Many organisations are still lacking the adequate tools, processes and procedures to identify cyber-attacks against their organisations. Consequently, customers are often the first to learn that their data has been compromised. Not only does this cause immediate and sustained corporate embarrassment, but with little control over how the news is communicated and disseminated, this can have a devastating impact on any strategies put in place to mitigate the reputation impact of a cyber-attack and data loss.

In 2015 the average time it took for organisations to discover their cyber security had been breached was 146 days; down from 205 in 2014. While this 59 day improvement is to be applauded, it is still too long. So how to close the gap?
