The Real Cost of Waiting to Detect a Breach

Unfortunately, many organizations don’t detect compromise until it's too late.

The longer the dwell time, the higher the cost. This includes direct losses (ransom payments, regulatory fines), as well as reputational harm, legal exposure, and operational downtime. Even a brief period of undetected compromise can create cascading impacts across a business.

What makes the difference? Faster detection.

This doesn’t mean more alerts — it means more context. By continuously analyzing metadata across DNS, network flows, and email activity, it’s possible to identify signs of compromise earlier and shorten response time dramatically.

The key is to shift from relying solely on alerts from isolated systems to taking a holistic view of your network’s behavior. If a device is communicating with a known malicious domain or behaving anomalously, real-time telemetry analysis can uncover that immediately — before an attacker escalates.

Cybersecurity isn’t just about having the right tools. It’s about knowing you’ve been compromised — and knowing it fast enough to act.
