Rescuing and Protecting Infrastructures
Financial Sector
Overview
A Quebec-based investment institution was the victim of a large-scale exfiltration attack and had to suspend their large scale operations. All levels of the organization were affected, and due to the scale of those issues, the case had to be made public.
Challenges
Following an exfiltration cyber attack of this magnitude, our client faced significant challenges in relation to both the personal, and sensitive financial data that was leaked.
While the company was addressing the loss of their customers’ confidence, ESI was brought on board to help put in place mechanisms to prevent the recurrence of any future damaging cyber attacks.
