For years, security operations followed a familiar sequence: detect suspicious activity, investigate what happened, and respond before it caused significant harm. That model developed in a threat landscape where defenders had considerably more time to establish the facts and decide what to do next. In 2019, the average data breach took 206 days to identify and another 73 days to contain, creating a total breach lifecycle of 279 days.As the time between initial access and attacker movement conti…
