The situation
Hackers wreak havoc.
A large furniture manufacturer was hit by damaging malware. Malicious hackers targeted the manufacturer on a Sunday evening. With fewer employees on-site and no 24/7 threat-detection installed, the attacker was able to upload a text file that then launched the malware.
The challenge
Rapid assessment and response was critical.
Dynamic Quest’s team of security analysts went to work. They had to analyze what service was exploited, and how the hackers were able to break into the system. Once those problems were solved, our team needed to assist the client in preventing future attacks.
The solution
Establish protections against future attacks.
A 24/7 endpoint detection solution was implemented. Dynamic Quest’s team of security engineers worked to plug the hole, patch the vulnerable server and implement a SOC/SIEM solution that provides 24/7 detection.
The results
A secure IT environment supports a healthy financial future.
Future risk mitigation is crucial in a world where thousands of dollars are spent and lost due to malicious hacking software. An upgraded security solution saved the manufacturer from future trouble. The company upgraded their server to reduce vulnerabilities and implemented a SOC solution that monitored their endpoints 24/7. These solutions were able to identify attacks and prevent them from causing future damage.
