White Paper
The Dwell Time Issue in Cybersecurity
This whitepaper examines the critical issue of “dwell time”—the period between malware infection and detection. It highlights that, in many cases, dwell times extend for months, allowing attackers to gather intelligence, spread across systems, and prepare highly effective attacks. The longer malware remains undetected, the greater the damage and financial impact. The paper underscores that current detection systems are failing to identify threats quickly enough, contributing to the rapid growth of cybercrime. It advocates for next-generation detection solutions capable of identifying threats in minutes rather than months, enabling organizations to respond before significant damage occurs.
