The phrase "Assume breach" has been transformational to enterprise security investment and defensive strategy for a few years but may now be close to retirement. Sizable investments in enterprisewide visibility should have reversed the much older adage "a defender needs to be right all the time, while the attacker needs to be right only once" into something like "An attacker needs to be invisible all the time, while the defender needs them to slip up only once."

Attacks can tuck in between security silos created as a result of disconnected solution alerts and gaps during security triaging and attack investigations. As presented in the IDC InfoBrief, 23 percent of companies say that their security teams spend more time maintaining and managing security tools instead of conducting actual security investigations.
These three components together provide what Cynet calls Autonomous Breach Protection - essentially breach protection on auto-pilot. Cynet automates many tasks associated with threat detection response and cross-environment remediation including infected hosts, compromised user accounts, malicious processes and attacker-controlled network traffic.
This makes sense when you consider that more meetings require passwords or passcodes, to avoid these sorts of hijackings, thus making rogue participants, particularly in a classroom setting, a more common threat.
