CloudCover was brought in to address network security concerns for a large US based energy distribution and storage company with hundreds of employees in multiple locations across the United States following the Colonial Pipeline ransomware data breach event in 2021. Upon investigation, we discovered that Russian attackers had infiltrated the network through the VOIP phone system. Thanks to the expertise of the CC/B1 team, they were able to quickly detect and block the threats.
Case Studies
Government
When a Local or County government experiences a cyberattack, it’s not just the entity’s network security that’s at risk — it’s also the lives of the residents who depend on it to supply safe drinking water, access to oil and gas, and critical emergency services. Government organizations have become prime targets for cyberattacks due to their dependence on critical IT systems, lean budgets and minimal staff, and the treasure trove of valuable information stored in their networks.
Banking
Financial services and banking institutions have long been prime targets for cyber attacks for a simple reason – where there’s money, there’s money to be made. According to a study conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank, companies in this sector are 300x times more at risk for data security threats than any other industry. Knowing this, the midwest bank knew they needed to implement a comprehensive network security strategy – and they needed to do it with a lack of staff and budget.
Healthcare
Healthcare systems are particularly vulnerable to cyberattacks due to the sheer volume of information they possess – information that’s of high monetary and intelligence value. Pair that with the incredible complexity of healthcare organizations – legacy systems, resource availability, compliance, and more – and you’ve got yourself a challenging environment. Our client, an IT department within a multi-campus healthcare system, was uneasy with the lack of a holistic network security solution, so we installed the B100 series of our CyberSafety CC/B1 Platform.
Education
A wealth of data and a lack of funding for cybersecurity-focused IT professionals are why cyber attacks are one of the most serious threats schools and higher education institutions face. And for our client, a metropolitan K-12 public school district, the situation felt especially precarious – with 9,000 students and 4,000 computers stretched across 13 campuses, it seemed as if they’d never get their arms around network security problem. The district decided to install our CyberSafety Platform for a complimentary trial and didn’t look back after seeing results.
