Hackers Linger Three Times Longer Inside APAC Networks

The average dwell time before cyber-criminals are discovered inside victim networks in APAC is more than three times the global median of 146 days, according to a new report fromMandiant.

The FireEye division’s latest M-Trends study focuses on Asia Pacific for the first time, revealing a region lagging the rest of the world on cybersecurity.

Incident investigation stats for 2015 revealed the median time of compromise to discovery of an attack was 520 days, much higher than the global figure although not much bigger than EMEA (469 days).

As Mandiant says in the report, “seventeen months provides ample time for any attacker to progress through the full attack life cycle and achieve multiple goals within their mission objectives.”

Not just that, but most breaches are never made public thanks to a lack of notification laws; a dangerous situation given the inability of many organizations to identify and respond to security incidents. For the full article click here
