Case Study: Global Specialty Chemical Company Achieves Stronger ATO Prevention and Employee Cyber Awareness with SpyCloud

Combining ATO Prevention with Employee Education to Fight Cybercrime

Global Specialty Chemical Company, a U.S.-headquartered global specialty chemical firm, wanted to better protect sensitive customer and employee data from account takeover and phishing-driven attacks. The company needed a clearer view into exposed credentials so it could prove the risk to executives and employees and reduce the chance of a breach impacting customer information. SpyCloud helped address this need with credential exposure monitoring and reporting.

Using SpyCloud’s real-time exposed-credential data, the company gained employee-, account-, and source-level visibility into stolen credentials across 65 third-party breaches. This enabled faster remediation, stronger security awareness, and expanded employee phishing training. Since becoming a SpyCloud customer, the company detected 2,000 exposed employee records and improved its overall cyber posture through better password hygiene, MFA adoption, and ongoing education.
