From alert to confirmed incident: what our CyberSOCs and the Dynamic SOC for smaller businesses detected in a year – where attacks start, which day ransomware prefers, and why the human layer still decides.
It started with one fake “I’m not a robot” click. Our security research team followed it to a legitimate company website that turned out to be a victim, not the attacker – and to a hiding place for malware our team had never seen before. That is the kind of story this chapter is built on, next to a year of CyberSOC data and Dynamic SOC data for smaller businesses.
The data covers September 2025 to August 2026. Every case our CyberSOCs handled is classified: a confirmed true-positive incident, or ‘other’ – legitimate activity, a false positive, or an event that does not meet the criteria. A second dataset comes from our Dynamic SOC, a service built for small and medium-sized businesses, so the picture is not limited to large enterprises.

The most consequential security problems are often not exotic.
