Sophos Report reveals telemetry gaps in 42 % of cyberattack cases
ophos , a global leader in Cybersecurity-as-a-Service , has
S released its Active Adversary Report for Security Practitioners , which found that telemetry logs were missing in nearly 42 % of the attack cases studied .
In 82 % of these cases , cybercriminals disabled or wiped out the telemetry to hide their tracks . The report covers Incident Response ( IR ) cases that Sophos analysed from January 2022 through the first half of 2023 .
Gaps in telemetry decrease much-needed visibility into organisations ’ networks and systems , especially since attacker dwell time ( the time from initial access to detection ) continues to decline , shortening the time defenders have to effectively respond to an incident .
“ Time is critical when responding to an active threat ; the time between spotting the initial access event and full threat mitigation should be as short as possible . The farther along in the attack chain an attacker makes it , the bigger the headache for responders . Missing telemetry only adds time to remediations that most organisations can ’ t afford . This is why complete and accurate logging is essential , but we ’ re seeing that , all too frequently , organisations don ’ t have the data they need ,” said John Shier , Field CTO , Sophos .
In the report , Sophos classifies ransomware attacks with a dwell time of less than or equal to five days as ‘ fast attacks ’, which accounted for 38 % of the cases studied . ‘ Slow ’ ransomware attacks are those with a dwell time greater than five days , which accounted for 62 % of the cases .
