Dwell time is the period between when an attacker enters your environment and when they’re detected. The longer they stay, the more damage they can do.
⚠️ Why It’s a Problem
- Average dwell time is over 220 days in some cases.
- Attackers use this time to move laterally, exfiltrate data, and establish persistence.
🛡️ How to Reduce It
- Use real-time behavioral analytics to detect anomalies early.
- Implement Broad Context Detection to correlate events across endpoints.
