Report: Slow Detection, Slow Response

One-third of network security hacks are not discovered for hours, a report says.

More than one-third of data breaches arent detected for hours, and recovering from a breach takes anywhere from days to months, a new survey says.
The mean time to respond is the focus now, says Paul Nguyen, president of global security solutions for CSG Invotas, which sponsored the survey conducted by IDC. Weve seen a significant rise in the volume of incidents corporations have to deal with. This increasing tide has caused a gap between how much security operations can handle to be effective and how to bridge the gap and reduce response times.
The survey included security decision makers at firms with 500 or more employees. Some 61% say they are looking into ways to trim the time it takes to respond to a security event, and most say that trimming their response to a security breach or event helps protect the companys reputation and customer data.
One-fourth are in favor of automating some security processes, and they already use automation tools where possible, while 57% say they are somewhat comfortable automating some security processes, though with security teams involved, as well. Some 30% of security workflows are automated today, and two-thirds of companies say they will automate more elements in the next year.
