Beat the 29-minute cyber attack

Time is the only metric that matters in cybersecurity. According to recent data from CrowdStrike, the fastest hackers can move from their first break-in to other parts of your network in just 29 minutes.

Think about that timeline. From the moment an outsider gains access to your network, you have less than half an hour. You have to find them, figure out what they want and stop them before they reach your most valuable data.

Defending a company is already hard. But when you only have 29 minutes, old-school security setups fail completely. If your strategy relies solely on watching separate computer alerts, you are already losing the race.

Laptops and servers are big targets, but they are only small pieces of a massive puzzle. Modern companies use a complex mix of cloud storage, login managers and massive networks.

When a smart attacker gets in, they do not stay in one place. They steal passwords, hijack active user sessions and exploit weak settings to blend in with your normal everyday traffic.

If your team has to hunt through disconnected screens—checking one dashboard for laptops, another for logins and a third for the cloud—your time will run out. Separated data creates blind spots. Those blind spots cause massive delays.

Winning the 29-minute race requires a shift. You need to move from waiting for things to break to running unified security analytics. True security needs three things working as a single engine: data, smart analytics and human expertise.

To achieve this, we bring together CrowdStrike’s system monitoring with Elastic’s high-speed SIEM data analysis, all backed by expert engineers.

Streaming all your security data into a single Elastic dashboard connects the dots across your entire company instantly. It automatically cross-references logins, cloud files, network traffic and system logs in real time.

When an alert fires, it is no longer an isolated mystery. It instantly shows you the full context. Analysts can see the entire path the attacker took straight away. Blind spots disappear, decisions happen faster and your team can move at the speed of the threat.

We do not run a standard monitoring service that simply passes messy alerts back to your team to handle. This model is built specifically to beat the attacker's timeline:

Active human expertise: Real engineers who understand hacker behaviours and know exactly where to look.

Automated speed: Fast analysis software that sorts through massive amounts of security log data in milliseconds to find real risks.

Continuous operation: Round-the-clock eyes on your screens. We ensure a threat found at 2:00 AM is stopped before 2:30 AM.

You cannot defend against what you cannot see, and you cannot stop what you cannot connect. It is time to move past basic monitoring and build a defence engine designed to win.
