In a 24 7 Security Operations Center, a diverse incident response team works together under pressure, analyzing real-time threat intelligence data to defend against a live cyberattack.

Managing Cyber, Employment and Operational Risk for a Multi-Site Education Group

Situational Analysis

A global academic organization engaged Crisis24 after a malicious actor distributed confidential internal HR material through organizational mailing channels. What first appeared to be a discrete email security incident quickly developed into a complex Insider Threat matter.

The employee at the center of the matter occupied a sensitive technical role with extensive knowledge of the organization’s systems and access to administrative accounts, cloud environments, confidential data and multiple operating sites. Subsequent inquiries identified material concerns relating to the employee’s qualifications, background and suitability that had not been adequately identified or resolved during recruitment and onboarding.

The combination of the unauthorized disclosure, the employee’s technical capability, privileged access, and the emerging employment concerns created a potentially significant risk to the organization’s information, operations, stakeholders and reputation.
