Cyber attacks from advanced actors appear to be growing in scope and increasing in frequency. These attacks are successful because current defensive strategies are not well suited to mitigating prolonged and determined attackers leveraging advanced techniques.
Most organizations continue to focus on preventing zero-day exploits by relying on commercial security products such as patching and blocking bad domain names and IP addresses.
While these approaches are effective against some types of threats, they fail to stop advanced attacks and provide no knowledge of what an adversary does once the network is penetrated.
