IT Security experts explain what this could mean for customers and what companies should do to prevent such glitches:
London, UK: A new survey from Lieberman Software Corporation has revealed that 83 percent of IT professionals do not believe advanced persistent threats are over-hyped, however they are still very naïve about the length of time it would take to identify an advanced persistent threat on their own corporate network.
The study was carried out at Black Hat Conference 2015 and looked at the attitudes of nearly 150 IT security professionals. It revealed that 10 percent of IT professionals believe it would take them only one hour to identify an APT on their network, while 55 percent said it would take them one week to one month. However this is in contrast with data from a recent Mandiant[1] report which revealed that hackers are present on the network for an average of 205 days before being discovered.
