Rapid Threat Detection and Remediation with Cyber Overwatch

Client Background

Our client, a medium-sized financial services firm based in London, faced escalating cybersecurity threats targeting their cloud-based infrastructure and hybrid working environment. They needed proactive, rapid detection and efficient resolution of vulnerabilities and threats, without disruption to daily operations.

Challenge

The client’s previous security solutions frequently missed vulnerabilities or provided delayed threat detection, leaving them exposed. In one particular instance, a critical vulnerability was exploited through an external IP address, allowing attackers to briefly access sensitive customer data.

Cyber Overwatch's Response

Upon onboarding, Cyber Overwatch immediately deployed our comprehensive vulnerability scanner to assess the client’s entire IT environment. Within minutes, we identified the specific IP address and detailed the precise vulnerability being exploited.

Behind the scenes, our threat-hunting team leveraged integrated threat intelligence and dark web monitoring tools. We quickly identified breached data linked to the client and correlated this to the ongoing incident.

Resolution

Within hours, Cyber Overwatch provided the client's technical team with actionable, step-by-step remediation instructions, enabling them to rapidly patch the vulnerability and block the offending IP addresses. The incident was fully contained and resolved on the same day it was detected, significantly minimising business impact.

Ongoing Prevention

Post-incident, Cyber Overwatch proactively monitored and continuously tracked new and emerging vulnerabilities using live feeds from global vulnerability databases. Our security experts provided tailored recommendations for the client’s environment, including additional security measures and controls.

Outcome

The client significantly improved their cybersecurity resilience. Their team now receives rapid alerts and precise guidance for remediation, ensuring vulnerabilities are addressed promptly. Cyber Overwatch’s comprehensive threat detection, dark web monitoring, and evidence-backed incident management have substantially reduced the risk of future breaches.

Through Cyber Overwatch’s proactive, integrated, and precise approach, the client now confidently maintains robust and effective cybersecurity defences, keeping their sensitive data secure and business operations uninterrupted.
