The challenge
EarthX was facing an active cyber attack. Beyond containing it, the organization needed a security foundation to prevent the next one: formal policies and incident response planning, patching, backup, and staff awareness.
What Zephon did
- Incident response: real-time response with just-in-time quarantine and root cause analysis, which contained the active attack before it escalated.
- 24/7 monitoring: continuous endpoint and network threat detection.
- Identity hardening: identified the most-targeted user accounts and added controls to protect them; strengthened identity and access posture in Azure and Microsoft 365.
- Vulnerability management: scanning and automated patch management for outdated software.
- Email security: Proofpoint implementation.
- Policy and awareness: formal security policies, security awareness training, URL filtering, and network access control.
- Reporting: monthly cyber risk reports and executive walkthroughs.
Results
- A significantly reduced organizational cyber risk score.
- Malicious activity detected and neutralized in near real time.
- Targeted accounts secured, and staff better prepared to recognize phishing.
- Security policies and controls in place to support compliance.
