How many of you out there have had your personal information compromised? Raise your hands.
Now put them back down, and everybody else raise your hands.
You are the people who have been compromised and don’t know it.
And that’s just personal data. Companies need to realize this too:
An advanced persistent threat (APT) attacker probably already has infiltrated your network: That’s the new normal in security. But what can you do about it?
It’s a matter of moving beyond the traditional mindset of thinking purely in terms of prevention. “We’re trying to help people to think beyond intrusion prevention to post-infection detection and mitigation,” says Will Irace, director of research for Fidelis.
Accepting the premise that the attackers are already inside can be unsettling — even shocking — to some organizations, but the reality is that these cyberespionage attacks have evolved from a military/Defense Department problem to one plaguing various corners of the commercial world as well.
