Cyber attacks: Stronger, faster, and more sophisticated
The latest security report has some eye-opening insights into cyber threats that every business should know about.
Firstly, cyber attacks are getting faster. It used to take attackers around 84 minutes to move within a network once they got in. Now, it's down to just 62 minutes. That's a big drop in a short time.
Not only are attacks quicker, but they're also happening more often. The report found 34 new cyber criminal groups, bringing the total tracked groups to over 230. These criminals are not just sitting around; they're improving their tactics, with a new record of only two minutes and seven seconds to breach a network.
What's even scarier is that people are often the weak link. Cyber criminals are using tricks like phishing emails to get employees to click on dangerous links or pretending to be someone trusted to gain access. This is known as social engineering.
