UK businesses report 88 percent more breaches
Summary
The average organization is subject to multiple breaches, of which only some will be detected, so the figures reported to the IOC are likely to be understated", says Peter Woollacott, CEO, Huntsman Security. Genuine threats require immediate attention but frequently the investigation of benign and even false alarms can waste a great deal of valuable time and resources. Verizon’s DBIR 2016 gave a clear illustration of this problem, revealing that whilst 84 percent of attacks compromise their targets within days or less, under a quarter are detected within that timeframe". To help them see through the noise generated by security alerts, organizations must find a way to automate threat verification and eliminate the wasted effort that result from false alarms", Woollacott adds. This in conjunction with automation and streamlining the incident management process means that organizations can put themselves, the ICO and the wider public at greater ease that our data is safe in their hands".
