Case Study: a large financial services provider improves SOC detections and vulnerability coverage with NCC Group's Attack Path Mapping

Attack Path Mapping for Cryptocurrency Experts

NCC Group worked with a large financial services provider, a cryptocurrency exchange that needed to test long-overdue internal infrastructure and better measure the effectiveness of its SOC. The organization wanted stronger vulnerability coverage across an estate of about 12,000 live hosts, better insight into cloud exposure, and clearer visibility into attack paths from compromised internal systems.

NCC Group implemented its Attack Path Mapping (APM) service to combine penetration testing, SOC improvement, and attack simulation in one engagement. The exercise identified vulnerabilities, produced useful detection data, and created a repeatable model for future internal testing, while the client reported that NCC Group’s APM exercises save them invaluable time and money, amounting to tens of thousands of dollars per year.
