In a 2017 report undertaken by the Ponemon Institute and IBM it was discovered that it takes 197 days to discover a breach was in your system and then a further 69 days to put an end to it. The means this malware attack would expose your organisation for 266 days! In 2018, we’ve seen in further research by the Ponemon Institute that malware attacks account for 35 percent of all attacks.
