Overview:

In 2025, cyber threats have become more sophisticated than ever. With AI-powered attacks, ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS), and evolving compliance regulations, businesses face unprecedented risks. Our client, a mid-sized financial services firm, handles sensitive customer data and was targeted by a phishing attack that led to a ransomware infection. Without proper cybersecurity measures, they risked significant financial loss, legal consequences, and reputational damage.

The Problem:

The firm experienced a phishing attack that bypassed their outdated security filters. An employee unknowingly clicked a malicious link, allowing hackers to encrypt critical financial records. The attackers demanded a $250,000 ransom in cryptocurrency, threatening to release sensitive client data if payment was not made.
