Abdi İbrahim, a leading company in the Turkish pharmaceutical industry, has the largest product portfolio in the sector. They have nearly 250 brands and more than 500 products, which they develop internally as well as in collaboration with 30 licensors. Abdi İbrahim is dedicated to ensuring the security of its operations and valuable intellectual property. This case study highlights how Abdi İbrahim addresses security challenges and enhances the digital security horizon by utilizing the Brandefense Platform.
Overview
Modern attacks, from commodity exploits to highly curated and sophisticated fraud schemes, have become increasingly prevalent and effective as threat actor delivery modalities have been commensurately commoditized (clear, deep and dark web). DRPS leverages these modalities to discover and mitigate the risks which may directly impact business operations or reputation.
Large organizations like Abdi Ibrahim Pharmaceuticals, with approximately 5,000 employees, often face significant cybersecurity challenges. They experienced recurring data leaks on the dark web and deep web, mainly due to end-users accessing corporate accounts on personal devices. The need for timely alerts and continuous monitoring of VIP users’ data added to their difficulties in protecting critical information and maintaining customer trust.
Solution Highlights
Abdi Ibrahim Pharmaceuticals faced frequent phishing attacks and unauthorized access attempts, constantly putting their data at risk.
By leveraging The Brandefense Platform, Abdi İbrahim has identified data leaks on the dark and deep web that specifically target vulnerabilities stemming from personal device usage.
The Brandefense Platform provided real-time threat intelligence, enabling them to proactively counter these threats. This approach significantly enhanced their security posture, ensuring the protection of their data.
Challenges
- Data Leaks on the Dark Web and Deep Web: Frequent incidents of data leaks on the dark web and deep web exposed critical company information, compromising their competitive edge and customer trust.
- Compromised Information from Personal Devices: Employees accessing corporate accounts on personal devices significantly increased the risk of sensitive information being compromised, as these devices often lacked robust security measures.
- Need for Timely Alerts and Continuous Monitoring: Without timely alerts and continuous monitoring of VIP users’ data, it was challenging for Abdi Ibrahim Pharmaceuticals to detect and respond to threats promptly. This reactive approach left their data security vulnerable.
Results and Benefits
Abdi İbrahim has significantly improved its cybersecurity framework by using the Brandefense Platform. This has led to a 60% reduction in security incidents and a 65% increase in real-time threat detection and mitigation. Consequently, their system has significantly enhanced its response capabilities.
