Case Study: Large Infrastructure Company stops camera-based corporate espionage with Awake Security

Large Infrastructure Company - Customer Case Study

Large Infrastructure Company, in the energy sector, faced a serious security challenge when thousands of IP surveillance cameras on its network were found to be vulnerable to corporate espionage. Using the Awake Security Platform, the organization discovered that one contractor was spying on employees in sensitive locations through compromised cameras already present on the network.

Awake Security automatically profiled all connected devices and flagged a single camera communicating with an unusual destination over FTP that no other cameras were using. By tracing the FTP activity, Awake Security helped the security team identify the credentials, isolate another matching connection from an IT contractor’s device, and uncover multiple compromised cameras across data centers and secure facilities, significantly reducing a high-risk attack surface.
