It is possible for malware to remain undetected in an environment for over 6 months or longer. In fact, according to the IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence Index, the average time to detect a data breach is 207 days, which is more than 6 months.

The reason why malware can go undetected for such a long time is because cybercriminals are becoming more sophisticated in their attacks. They use techniques such as polymorphism, which allows the malware to constantly change its appearance to evade detection, and fileless malware, which can infect a system without leaving any traces behind.

In addition, many organizations rely on traditional antivirus software to detect and prevent malware, but these tools are not always effective against the latest threats. Cybercriminals are constantly developing new malware variants that can evade traditional antivirus software.
