A cybersecurity disaster narrowly averted
Situation :
- A Present Managed Services client is attacked on the weekend (attacks are most often made outside business hours).
- Although the client did not have the Managed Security services, the attack is taken care of by Present’s 24/7 monitoring service.
Solution:
- We detect abnormal activity on one of the systems and immediately isolate it and start an analysis.
- We confirm the system was indeed attacked and we recover the software and data and restart the system.
- The client has since adopted Present’s managed security services and they are now much better protected with the addition of AI protection tools.
Benefits:
- The client was able to prevent hackers from entering their network and exfiltrating their data or demanding a ransom.
- They also avoided the nightmare associated with an attack such as endless hours spent on recovery, exposure of the company in the media, lawyers, insurance, etc.
- The client has dramatically reduced their risk of attack, as they now have the best protection tools in place.
