Our Chief Security Officer (CSO) Dimitris Georgiou has recently published an insightful article, addressing the escalating threats of cyberattacks to businesses of all sizes.

⏱️ 5 days. That’s how quickly threat actors now exploit zero-day vulnerabilities, according to Google Mandiant's report (https://lnkd.in/gubwk9G7). The TTE (time-to-exploit) has dropped from 63 days in 2018-19 to just 5 days this year, giving security teams a razor-thin margin to respond. Zero-day attacks are rising, and traditional patching cycles aren’t enough to keep pace. This shift demands proactive defenses and real-time threat intelligence. Partnering with Alphabit brings in-depth incident management solutions and expert threat intelligence analysis to help CISOs rapidly identify, contain, and remediate emerging threats. Prepare for the pace of today's threat landscape. Learn more about Alphabit’s Incident Response Consulting: https://lnkd.in/gyNd5Hf2
