The threat is already inside

A cyberattack strikes somewhere in the world every 39 seconds. $9.5 trillion in damages in 2024 alone. This is what the threat landscape looks like, and why your business cannot rely on luck.

What happened

Attackers breached a managed service provider and pushed ransomware to downstream clients through remote admin tools. Hundreds of businesses were encrypted simultaneously through a single vendor relationship.

Key takeaway

Third-party access is your network. Segment vendor connections and audit every remote management tool with the same rigor as internal systems.

How TwoDefend stops this

We monitor vendor sessions and remote access in real time. Unusual lateral movement or admin tool activity triggers an immediate alert before encryption can start.

How attackers come for you

Six categories responsible for over 95% of business security incidents.

Ransomware

$2.73M average ransom demand

Encrypts your files, systems, and backups until you pay. 78% of victims are SMBs. Modern strains delete shadow copies and target backups first. One exposed RDP port or phishing click is all it takes.

  • $20B+ in global damages per year
  • 21 days average business downtime
  • 66% of organizations hit in 2023

Phishing & BEC

$2.9B stolen via email fraud in 2023

Business email compromise impersonates your CFO, vendors, or IT team. Employees authorize fraudulent transfers, share credentials, or hand over MFA codes, and don't realize until it's too late.

  • 3.4B phishing emails sent daily
  • $2.9B lost to BEC in 2023
  • 91% of all cyberattacks start here

Data Breach

204 days before average detection

Customer records, financials, and IP exfiltrated silently while business carries on normally. By the time it's discovered, the data is already being sold. Fines and lawsuits follow for months.

  • $4.88M average total cost
  • 45% of breaches are cloud-related
  • 73 more days to fully contain

Credential Theft

80% of breaches use stolen credentials

Attackers log in as your employees. No malware. No noisy exploit. They move laterally for months, escalating privileges and mapping everything before striking. MFA helps, but isn't enough without detection.

  • 80% of hacking-related breaches
  • Avg 11 months before discovery
  • $2.35M median incident cost

Malware & Trojans

560,000 new variants discovered daily

Modern malware lives off the land, using your own tools (PowerShell, WMI, Task Scheduler) to stay invisible to legacy AV. Persistent backdoors harvest data or sit dormant waiting to deploy ransomware.

  • 560K new malware strains per day
  • 94% of malware delivered via email
  • $4.35B annual damages

DDoS Attacks

$22,000 per minute of downtime

Floods your web presence, APIs, or infrastructure until services go dark. Often used as a smokescreen while attackers enter from another vector. One day of downtime can exceed a year of protection costs.

  • 29K DDoS attacks daily worldwide
  • $22K/min in revenue loss during downtime
  • 150% volume increase in 2023

No sector is safe

Every industry is targeted. Smaller companies are increasingly the entry point: easier to breach, then used to reach larger targets.

Don't be the next statistic

Every organization on that map is a real target. Most breaches are preventable with the right controls and someone watching. That's what we do.
