"Organizations Fail to Log 44% of Cyber Attacks, Major Exposure Gaps Remain"
According to Picus Security, 40 percent of tested environments enabled attack paths leading to domain admin access. Since domain admin access is the highest level of access within an organization's Information Technology (IT) infrastructure, it is like giving attackers a master key. Based on the analysis of over 136 million cyberattacks simulated by the Picus Security Validation Platform, the company's report shows that, on average, organizations prevent 7 out of 10 attacks. However, threat exposure management gaps can allow attackers using automation to move laterally through enterprise networks, putting organizations at risk of significant cyber incidents. Organizations' detection tools logged 56 percent of simulated attacks, and only 12 percent triggered an alert. This article continues to discuss key findings from Picus Security's report on the state of exposure management.
