CrowdStrike's 2019 Global Threat Report emphasizes the critical importance of speed in cybersecurity, particularly through the concept of "breakout time," which measures how quickly adversaries can move laterally within a network after gaining initial access. The report ranks adversary groups based on this metric, highlighting Russian state-sponsored actors as the fastest, followed by North Korean and Chinese groups. The findings illustrate the necessity for organizations to adhere to the 1-10-60 rule, which recommends response times of one minute to detect, ten minutes to investigate, and one hour to remediate security incidents. This approach is essential for defending against sophisticated threats, as it emphasizes rapid detection and response to prevent adversaries from achieving their goals. CrowdStrike advocates for using advanced technologies like the Falcon® platform, which incorporates endpoint detection and response, managed threat hunting, and machine learning, to meet these critical response metrics and effectively protect against cyber threats.
