About the Customer

The customer is a leading Turkish pharmaceutical company. It works to keep its operations and key intellectual property safe. This case study shows how the company handles security challenges and improves its digital security with the Brandefense Platform.

Overview

Modern attacks range from common exploits to well planned fraud schemes. They have become more frequent and more effective. Threat actors can now reach targets through cheap and easy to get channels (clear, deep and dark web).

DRPS uses these same channels to find and reduce the risks that may hit business operations or reputation.

Large firms like this pharmaceutical company often face big cybersecurity challenges. They saw repeated data leaks on the dark web and deep web. This was mainly because users opened corporate accounts on personal devices. They also needed timely alerts and continuous monitoring of VIP users’ data. This made it harder to protect critical information and keep customer trust.

The Brandefense Platform gave them real-time threat intelligence. They could counter these threats early. This approach greatly improved their security posture and protected their data.

What Challenges Did the Company Face?

  • Compromised Information from Personal Devices: Employees accessing corporate accounts on personal devices greatly raised the risk of sensitive information being exposed. These devices often lacked strong security measures.
  • Need for Timely Alerts and Continuous Monitoring: Without timely alerts and continuous monitoring of VIP users’ data, it was hard for the company to find and answer threats quickly. This reactive approach left their data open to attack.
