Case Study: a global technology manufacturer achieves zero-downtime APT remediation with Palo Alto Networks Unit 42

Global Technology Manufacturer neutralizes APT attack in 4 days with Palo Alto Networks

A global technology manufacturer faced a significant challenge when law enforcement alerted them that their network traffic matched indicators of a stealthy advanced persistent threat (APT). The customer engaged Palo Alto Networks and its Unit 42 incident response team to contain the attacker, determine the root cause, and enhance security controls without causing operational downtime.

Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 team implemented a rigorous response, utilizing their threat intelligence and deploying Cortex XDR and Cortex Xpanse for expanded visibility. They identified the attack as part of the TiltedTemple campaign, contained the threat, and eradicated the actor from the 10,000+ endpoint environment. The results included zero business downtime, full attribution of the attack within 48 hours, and a complete determination of the impact and environment securing within just four days.
