How a Critical National
Infrastructure Uses Luminar to
Proactively Reveal and Mitigate
Threats in the Making
CASE STUDY
A National European Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) organization
is responsible for the management, production and distribution of 95%
of the country’s energy, and employs 40,000 people in its 800 plants.
This CNI organization was looking to implement a Cyber Threat Intelligence
(CTI) solution in order to expand its visibility into threats and become
more proactive in its defense strategy. The organization issued a bid
based on several cybersecurity issues they wanted to address.
Industry intelligence. Visibility into industry-related attacks and threat
intelligence about attack groups and attack vectors that are used to
target the specific industry, enables to learn and better understand how
to remain secure and resilient. The organization did not have access to
such information and requested a solution that can provide updates on
attacks targeting similar entities.
Phishing. The organization had received complaints from customers
about phishing attempts, impersonations, and fraud activities. This was
not acceptable and management requested a solution that provides
early warnings that will enable them to proactively address this and
avoid such incidents either using take-down services or even warning
customers in time, to be aware of such possible attempts.
Executive protection. High-risk and sensitive personnel are always a target
in such organizations, as they can have access privileges or information
that can facilitate attacks. The organization decided to continuously
monitor high-risk senior management to check their exposure level and
help reduce their personal attack surface.
Monitoring a variety of assets. The organization was looking for a wide
solution that will provide threat intelligence for all their assets including
IT and OT, as well as assets related to their subsidiaries, parent company
and third-party suppliers. They were looking for the ability to monitor
these assets over multiple sources, such as the Deep and Dark Web,
social networks and technical forums, to identify risk to the brand, detect
data leaks, and uncover exposed and vulnerable assets.
This CNI organization selected Cognyte’s Luminar for its ability to monitor
and collect data from a wide array of sources regarding different types
of assets, to provide visibility into industry-related attacks and technical
analysis of attacks on critical infrastructure organizations globally, and
to automatically deliver digital footprint risk assessments. In addition,
they found great value in having access to analysts that provide ongoing
professional services and support in multiple languages.
