M-Trends Asia Pacific: Organizations Must Improve at Detecting and
Responding to Breaches

Since 2010, Mandiant, a FireEye company, has presented trends,
  statistics and case studies of some of the largest and most
  sophisticated cyber attacks. In February 2016, we released our annual
  global     href="https://www.fireeye.com/current-threats/annual-threat-report/mtrends/rpt-2016-mtrends.html">M-Trends®
  report based on data from the breaches we responded to in 2015.
  Now, we are releasing     href="https://www2.fireeye.com/m-trends-2016-asia-pacific.html">M-Trends
    Asia Pacific, our first report to focus on this very diverse and
  dynamic region.    src="https://www.fireeye.com/content/dam/fireeye-www/blog/images/apc%20mtrends%20smallest.jpg" class="float-right" />
 

 

Some of the key findings include:

 

• 
      Most breaches in the Asia Pacific region never became public.
      Most governments and industry-governing bodies are without
      effective breach disclosure laws, although this is slowly
    changing.
• 
      The median time of discovery of an attack was 520 days after the
        initial compromise. This is 374 days longer than the global
      median of 146 days.
• 
      Mandiant was engaged by many organizations that have already
        conducted forensic investigations (internally or using third
        parties), but failed to eradicate the attackers from their
        environments. These efforts sometimes made matters worse by
      destroying or damaging the forensic evidence needed to understand
      the full extent of a breach or to attribute activity to a specific
      threat actor.
• 
      Some attacker tools were used to almost exclusively target
        organizations within APAC. In April 2015, we uncovered the
      malicious efforts of APT30, a suspected China-based threat group
      that has exploited the networks of governments and organizations
      across the region, targeting highly sensitive political, economic
      and military information.
