Stopping automated attacks in their tracks

Challenge: A major global bank was experiencing considerable account takeover attacks that were bypassing their current defense solution. The attacks involved thousands of logins per day, and to mimic human behavior, the bots used a different IP address up to five times a day.

Solution: The bank integrated NuDetect into its online cybersecurity measures and was able to stop automated account takeover attacks with incredible accuracy.

  • 250M total automated attempts mitigated
  • 99% accuracy
  • 0.1% false positive rate

Uncovering third-party cyber risk

Challenge: The cybersecurity risk team of a top-5 U.S. pharmaceutical organization was struggling to understand and act on their third-party risk exposure and didn’t have the data necessary to discover and monitor external systems or effectively assess third-party cybersecurity risk performance.

Solution: They used the RiskRecon platform to continuously discover and assess their internet attack surface and automatically assess the cybersecurity performance of over 3,000 critical suppliers.

  • Discovered 112 shadow IT systems facing the internet (out of 1,134)
  • Expanded third-party cybersecurity risk performance visibility by 10x (300 to 3,000)
  • Reduced new vendor assessment time from three weeks to two days

Prioritizing investments to minimize risk

Challenge: Due to limited resources, the CISO at a national bank was faced with a prioritization challenge of what to focus on for maximum impact.

Solution: The bank conducted a Mastercard Cyber Quant diagnostic survey for a risk-driven analysis of their cyber priorities. Cyber Quant analyzed the bank’s current cyber posture and suggested three controls to prioritize, which could mitigate millions of dollars in financial loss.

  • Maximized the effectiveness of their limited resources
  • Decreased financial risk by up to $155 million
  • Less than $10 million in cybersecurity investments
