Resolving a Highly Complex Security Breach for a Global Multi-National

Discover how integrated expertise in cyber security, workflow assessment, physical security and preventing and detecting financial fraud enabled Kroll to empower a multi-national to take decisive action in response to a security breach, ensuring a fast and effective recovery.

The Challenge

Kroll’s client, a multi-national, discovered that it had been infiltrated by a foreign threat actor on a number of fronts. Not only had its networks and financial workflows been attacked, but there was a strong likelihood of a physical security breach. The client urgently required expert support to identify what had happened, contain and remove the attacker and then deal with any associated litigation issues. As a high-profile company, the client was under significant pressure to achieve all of this efficiently and effectively in order to minimize the potential damage to its reputation and financial status and meet its regulatory responsibilities.
