Cybercriminals are moving through compromised systems faster than many organisations can react, according to the latest findings from CrowdStrike. The company's latest threat analysis warns that the pace of cyber intrusions is accelerating sharply, with one attack observed spreading across a network in just 27 seconds.
The alarming figure appears in the company's 2026 Global Threat Report, which analyses global cyber threat activity and attacker behaviour. The report suggests that artificial intelligence and increasingly sophisticated tactics are helping threat actors move more quickly than ever inside targeted organisations.
