Case Study: a defense and technology manufacturing company contains an APT attack with Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 Incident Response

Defense And Technology Manufacturing Company contains APT in 1.5 weeks with Palo Alto Networks

A US defense and technology manufacturing company faced a critical national security threat when it was breached by a sophisticated nation-state actor associated with the TiltedTemple campaign. The company engaged Palo Alto Networks and its Unit 42 Incident Response team to quickly determine the scope of the attack, contain it, and identify what data had been exfiltrated.

Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 team utilized Cortex XDR and threat intelligence to rapidly identify the attacker, contain the breach, and fully evict the threat actor from the environment within a week and a half. The solution limited data loss and provided a detailed report for the client. Following the incident, Palo Alto Networks' Cortex XDR was installed to provide ongoing visibility and strengthen the company's future security posture.
