A Detection and Response Benchmark Designed for the Cloud

Cloud attacks are becoming faster and more sophisticated, often taking only 10 minutes to execute after finding an exploitable target, according to the “Mandiant M-Trends 2023” report. Existing security methods are not adequate for these threats. A new cloud-centred 5/5/5 Benchmark – five seconds to detect, five minutes to triage, and five minutes to respond to attacks – has been suggested by the industry. Higher speed responses are needed to avert costly cloud breaches, which average $4.45 million according to IBM’s “Cost of a Data Breach Report 2023”.
