How attackers are quietly creeping inside your perimeter

Vectra Networks has today announced the results of its latest Post-Intrusion Report (attached), a real-world study about threat behaviour that evade perimeter defences. It has shown that cyber attackers are getting quieter once inside the network, with use of covert attack communications on the rise.

The report analysed data from 120 Vectra customer networks comprised of more than 1.3 million hosts over January to March this year. All organisations showed signs of targeted attacks including internal reconnaissance, lateral movement or data exfiltration.

Of the 120 participating organisations, nearly 98% (117 organisations) detected at least one of these behaviours during each month of the study.
