Today, the topic of cyber-security has moved from IT and the datacentre to the highest levels of the boardroom. Attacks and threats have grown substantially more sophisticated in frequency and severity.

Attackers reside within a network an average of 8 months before they are even detected. In the vast majority of attacks, they compromise user credentials and they are increasingly using legitimate IT tools rather than malware. This post has a look at this and how Advanced Threat Analytics can help.

Employees today use several devices across a variety of locations to access a constantly changing set of resources. This complex activity creates a blindspot in user behaviour, opening up your network to malicious attackers. This clip tells you more about this and how to better identify advanced threats:
