Cybersecurity Case Studies
TSTT:
TSTT, a telecommunications company, faced a cyber attack on October 9, 2023, when cyber attackers attempted to gain unauthorized access to its systems. The company took immediate steps to minimize the security vulnerability, successfully isolating its systems and applications. These applications were subsequently quarantined, rebuilt, and put back into production as part of clearly defined policies and procedures. The company also enlisted the support of internationally recognized cybersecurity experts and partners in investigating the attempted breach and advising on the implementation of appropriate additional security measures and protocols. Some of these recommendations have already been implemented.
Cyber Attacks in 2022:
The Caribbean region, including Trinidad and Tobago, experienced 144 million cyberattack attempts in the first half of 2022. Ransomware was the most common type of breach2. The TT Cybersecurity Incident Response Team (TT-CSIRT) of the Ministry of National Security reported a significant increase in attacks, especially ransomware.
Capital One Data Breach:
In 2019, Capital One, one of the largest financial institutions in the US, suffered a data breach that exposed the personal information of over 100 million customers. The breach was caused by a misconfigured firewall that allowed a hacker to access the company’s cloud storage and steal sensitive data
McLaren Health Care:
a US-based healthcare giant, suffered a ransomware attack that resulted in the theft of sensitive personal and health information of 2.2 million patients. The stolen data included personally identifiable information, medical and health insurance details, and other sensitive data
WannaCry Ransomware Attack:
In 2017, the WannaCry ransomware attack affected over 200,000 computers in 150 countries. The attack exploited a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows and encrypted users’ files, demanding a ransom payment in Bitcoin to restore access
Equifax Data Breach:
In 2017, Equifax, one of the largest credit reporting agencies in the US, suffered a data breach that exposed the personal information of over 147 million customers. The breach was caused by a vulnerability in the company’s web application framework that allowed hackers to access sensitive data
Return on Investment
Here’s why our exclusive program with Christian Junior, the international cybersecurity strategist, is imperative for every modern CEO, C-Suite or Senior Management:
Improved Reputation
Good cybersecurity strategies can promote customer trust, enhance the reputation of a business and open up new commercial opportunities.
Improved Competitive Advantage
Gain competitive advantage by planning ahead for all possible scenarios to ensure your business can withstand or recover from any cyber attack. Good security can be an enabler for a thriving business: you will be protecting your assets, your reputation, your customers, and your peace of mind.
Reduced costs
The world lost $945bn to Cybercrime in 2020. Businesses can save money by adopting an efficient risk management “preventive” approach – plan, implement and review rather than a more expensive “reactive” approach in the aftermath of an attack.
