Security experts have warned victims of sophisticated cyber-attacks not to think of intrusions as a one-off event, as a majority of organizations end up getting hit again within the year.
CrowdStrike compiled an analysis of its own incident response and managed services engagements in 2020, to produce the CrowdStrike Services Cyber Front Lines Report.
It warned that in 68% of cases where an organization had experienced an intrusion, it is targeted again within 12 months. This makes the case for continuous monitoring and response, although too many organizations still believe they can get back to business-as-usual following an intrusion, the report argued.
