Any boxer will tell you: It’s the punch you don’t see coming that puts you on the canvas. The same can be said for cyberthreats.
According to IBM research, it takes an average of 197 days to discover a data breach and up to 69 days to contain it. As a result, the average cost of a data breach for businesses globally in 2023 was $4.45 million, a 15% increase over the past three years. That number increased to nearly $9.5 million for organizations in the United States.
What’s more, the Adversary Pursuit Group (APG) here at Blackpoint Cyber believes it’s not just stealth, but speed that makes today’s hackers so lethally effective. Bad actors move quickly to seize on vulnerabilities and exploit them—from deploying sophisticated ransomware to carrying out social engineering schemes that manipulate employees into providing access to systems, information, or other proprietary assets.
With cyberattacks accelerating at a dizzying pace—data shows a business falls victim to a ransomware attack at least every 14 seconds—the existential difference-maker for your business is visibility. Visibility across your attack surface. Visibility across the attack surface of your clients. Visibility across your security stack. And much, much more.
