Case Study

Victims of Cyber Crime

Organisation Type: Electrical Infrastructure Contractor

Staff members: 30+

Customers: 1000+

The Story:

The business has been operational for 30+ years with no formal security measures in place, only a traditional support plan which was reactive for customers needs. Within the year of 2022 they suffered an internal data breach whereby a suspicious phishing link was clicked and a certified mailbox within the business was redistributing the phishing mail to the entire customer base

The Issues:

Company data had been exposed
Business was unaware of the breach until a customer forwarded back to business.
1000s of customers received direct mails from the business with malicious content.
Intruder was attempting to access further into customers network.
This attack qualified for a registered data breach whereby average costs settle at £156 per identifiable piece of information to remediate.

After the attack occurred, Coffee Cup was onboarded to carry out a full audit of the business and to ensure should an attack happen again it is remediated and stopped instantly.

Best Practises Deployed:

Full AI email security with a full screen of each mail, this is then checked by the local support team in real time.
24/7 EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) rolled out screening all applications installed on devices with real support agents stress testing applications of monitoring for suspicious activity.
Microsoft Intune deployed for all mobile units.
Full real time security checks of IT environment 24/7.

Since Assurance has been deployed, the business has continued to be attacked with the key difference now being that any threats are removed before they reach the end user. To this day we still have full visibility of attacks coming into the business, however none have managed to breach the business using our selection of Cyber Essentials tools.
