Some 50% of security specialists took two days or longer to detect and remediate breaches, while another 7% knew neither the dwell time nor how to solve the issues, according to a survey by SANS Institute.

The length of time from an attacker’s initial entry into a network to the detection correlates most closely to the total cost of a breach. The longer an attacker has free access on a network, the more substantial the data loss, severity of customer data theft and subsequent regulatory penalties. In 2014, the average consolidated total cost of a data breach rose 23% from 2013 to $3.8 million, according to HOTforSecurity.
