Briefly

Organizations that handle sensitive customer data are vulnerable to data breaches, which significantly impact their credibility and finances. High-profile breaches have been costly, with average costs reaching $4.88 million in 2024. Cyberattacks often remain undetected for months, complicating breach recovery efforts. Security teams face challenges in identifying attacks due to insufficient detail in logs from security tools. Stolen credentials and spam emails are common attack vectors, highlighting the inadequacy of traditional defenses. Better detection methods are essential to protect valuable data in modern organizations.
