"1 Out of 3 Breaches go Undetected"

According to security researchers at Gigamon, organizations continue to struggle to detect breaches as they become more targeted and sophisticated, with more than 1 out of 3 organizations citing their existing security tools were unable to detect breaches when they occur.  During the study the researchers found that 65% of respondents believe that their existing solutions cannot effectively detect breaches. Many respondents (83%) believe that cloud complexity is increasing their cyber risk.  Almost all respondents predict that AI will increase the global ransomware threat.  The researchers noted that survey respondents generally acknowledge weaknesses in their threat detection tools.  Only 1 out of 4 could remediate a live threat in a recent breach.  More than a quarter (31%) of organizations only detected a recent breach when they received an extortion threat from the adversary, 31% became aware only once proprietary information leaked onto the dark web, and 25% of the respondents failed to determine the root of the breach.
