Case Study: Leading Financial Services Company Achieves Proactive Threat Detection with Team Cymru

How major banks stay ahead of APTs, phishing campaigns and other threats

Leading Financial Services Company, a major financial institution, needed better visibility into threats beyond its enterprise perimeter. Traditional threat intelligence feeds were too retrospective and fragmented, leaving analysts reacting to APTs, phishing campaigns, scanning activity, and malicious infrastructure only after it had already appeared inside their environment. The company turned to Team Cymru and its Pure Signal™ platform to gain broader, Internet-scale network intelligence.

With Team Cymru’s Pure Signal™, the bank’s analysts could proactively use network forensics across the Internet, trace threats back to origin IPs, map malicious infrastructure, and monitor high-priority actors over time. This helped them discover new C2 servers, block phishing and malware infrastructure before attacks launched, better understand scanning intent, and improve supply chain monitoring. Team Cymru says the platform provides a 10-fold increase in usable threat intelligence and gives teams access to 50+ types of Internet data, helping accelerate remediation and reduce the risk and cost of breaches.
