The IT security manager for a government
contractor noticed unusual alarms generated by the contractor’s security
software regarding one server. The company engaged bit-x-bit to investigate and
determine the scope and severity of the problem.
Working around the clock,
bit-x-bit's incident responders analyzed the company's server and quickly
determined that the company was the target of a sophisticated cyberattack. The
attack compromised a large number of computers, servers and user accounts. bit-x-bit
provided detailed reports to company management and counsel on a daily basis,
and assisted with defensive strategy and remediation. Our quick response and
understanding of this large and complex computer network enabled the company to
immediately escalate the issue with the appropriate authorities and assert
control over the situation.
