Cyberattacks have become faster, smarter, and more dangerous. For businesses, the difference between staying safe and falling victim comes down to only one thing: speed. Real-time threat detection helps companies spot and stop a cyber threat quickly. This way, they can avoid serious damage.
In this blog, we will explore what real-time threat detection means, why it matters more, and how GLESEC’s advanced threat mitigation services help organizations stay ahead of the curve.
The Alarming Reality of Current Threat Detection
Most companies do not even know they have been hacked until it’s far too late. According to IBM’s 2024 Data Security Report, companies take an average of 258 days to identify and contain a breach. This means attackers get more than eight months to move around, steal data, and damage companies’ systems, without being noticed.
This situation varies significantly across industries. Financial services companies take an average of 98 days to detect intrusions, while retailers take 197 days. Even worse, 83% of organizations reported at least one insider attack in 2024. And for those hit multiple times, the number of attacks is rising fast.
These numbers highlight a serious need for real-time threat detection. Businesses cannot afford to wait months to find out they have been breached.
Hidden Costs of Delayed Detection
Delaying the detection of a cyberattack does not just put data at risk but also costs big money. In 2024, the average cost of a data breach hit a record $4.88 million. But there was a big difference in cost depending on how quickly companies respond. Those who found and stopped threats in under 30 days saved more than $1 million compared to those who took longer.
Moreover, breaches lasting over 200 days cost 34% more on average.
Rise of Sophisticated Threat Actors
Cyber threats are rapidly growing and getting smarter. In 2024, cyberattack volumes increased by 114%, with over 900 million attacks observed compared to 420 million in 2023. Many of these were Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) or used zero-day vulnerabilities. There were 75 zero-day attacks in the wild last year alone.
These advanced attacks are hard to stop because they often slip past traditional security tools. Over half of security professionals say they are struggling to keep up. Even worse, 71% of them worry every week that they might miss a real attack hidden in a flood of system alerts.
That is why threat mitigation services are essential today. Businesses need tools for real-time threat detection so that they can avoid real damage.
Role of Real-Time Threat Detection
Real-time threat detection plays a significant role in helping businesses spot and stop threats the moment they occur.
Here is why it matters:
- Instant Alerts: It catches attacks as they happen. This cuts down the time hackers get to cause damage.
- Proactive Defense: It helps stop threats before they turn into full-blown problems.
- 24/7 Visibility: It gives constant updates on what is happening across your systems, users, and networks.
- Fast Response: It works with automated threat mitigation services to take quick action and contain threats immediately.
