Attackers Dwell Time Plummets as Ransomware Hits Continue May 20, 2021 Compliance May 4, 2021 Compliance Compliance euroinfosec) • May 3, 2021     Source: FireEye Mandiant Dwell time, which refers to how long hackers hang out in an organization s network before being discovered, has historically been a key metric for expressing whether hack-attack victims are getting better at detecting intruders. The longer attackers can spend in an organization s network, the more chance they have to jump to systems, crack passwords, find and exfiltrate valuable data and maybe leave crypto-locking malware on systems. The good news is that the average dwell time continues to decline, according to FireEye s Mandiant incident response group. The bad news is that it declined, in part, due to ransomware attackers often quickly revealing themselves when corporate networks become crypto-locked and inaccessible.
