In response to the news that Tesco.com has experienced a data breach, Lancope CTO, Tim 'TK' Keanini says:
These events are about as hard to predict as the sun rising tomorrow morning.
The problem is not the fact that cybercriminals break into these networks, but that they can go undetected while they figure things out and ultimately exfiltrate the files without being seen. Having eyes on a popular text-sharing site is not an effective method of detection by anyone’s standard. In a recentsurvey performed by the Ponemon Institute on incident response, companies using the operational metric of Mean Time To Know (MTTK) was at a miserable 23% so it is just far too easy for cybercriminals these days to operate effectively.
