Europe lags significantly behind in cybercrime detection:
According to FireEye’s latest M‑Trends Report EMEA 2016, it takes companies in Europe an average of 469 days to notice an intrusion by hackers. That’s more than three times longer than the global average of 146 days. A hacker breaking into a network is quite comparable to a burglar breaking into a company building or home. Surely it cannot be that this cybercrime goes undetected for such a long period of time. In a SEC4YOU survey, 100% of the respondents agreed that cyber attacks must also be detected immediately or at the longest on the same day.
Only a structured approach to the implementation of security measures can significantly reduce this cybercrime blindness. An essential prerequisite for this is the creation of security zones in the network and the rigorous monitoring of network traffic in and between these zones.
