A threat actor is usually going to be patient. It takes time and skill for their malicious code to spread its way into all of your critical systems and even your data backup.
They don’t strike until they have everything they need. In many cases, the attackers will try to get so deep into financial statements that they can calculate the exact amount of ransom to ask for, in order to maximize their “revenue” but not quite destroy your business.
Long before data becomes lost or encrypted, an employee probably clicked a link or opened an email which secretly opened a gateway for a cyber criminal to gain access to your company’s network. Your employee probably noticed nothing, but their computer became the path through which the attacker worked their way much deeper into your company data.
