Kaspersky's 2025 compromise assessment report reveals that organizations consistently fail to detect long-dwelling threats, with 30.8% of incidents persisting over 3 months and 52% of high-severity compromises going undetected for 90+ days. Key findings include widespread abuse of LoLBins and remote management tools in every incident-bearing engagement, 40% of web shells surviving in backups to be restored post-remediation, and a strong correlation between in-house forensics/reverse-engineering capability and reduced incident severity. Multiple case studies document dormant crypto-mining on domain controllers (4 years), in-memory LionTail implants on critical servers, PurpleFox rootkit infections evading EDR with disabled memory scanning, and ClipBanker persistence via registry Run keys with Defender exclusions.
