According to the latest Mandiant M-Trends report, 22 seconds is the new median time from an attacker's initial breach to them handing off access for a secondary attack group to initiate an attack like ransomware. That’s a 96,000% speed increase from just a few years ago.
When an attack moves that fast, your response has to be faster. But we know that in the real world, a crisis response is often slowed down by process. When your environment is compromised and the clock is ticking, the last thing you have time for is finding an incident response partner, negotiating terms, and getting legal sign-off.
That's exactly why we embedded Incident Response Assistance directly into Google SecOps.
