Times are tough for cyber pros, quite literally. Two common malware time scale metrics — dwell time and time to exploit — are rapidly shortening, making it harder for defenders to find and neutralize threats. With attackers spending far less time hidden in systems, organizations must break down security silos and increase cross-tool integration to accelerate detection and response. I explain the reasons why these two metrics are shortening and what security managers can do to keep up with the bad guys in my latest post for CSOonline.
