Imagine the damage that can be done to an organisation during that time: Accessing sensitive data about your company, products, employees and clients. Altering the operating system on every computer in your network. Causing irreparable damage to your company – both in terms of dollars and damaged reputation – before you even know he’s there.
Hackers typically gain control of a network using a privileged account (e.g., domain admin) within 24-48 hours of initiating the attack. They move silently through the network, avoiding actions that would alert IT to their presence. If they are discovered, it’s usually by chance or an external notification.Windows 11 devices, built for educationMicrosoftANZ2022-09-21 | Students deserve more than one-size-fits-all technology, especially as educators work to address significant issues of equity and access.
