Cybersecurity Services – Mitigating Vulnerabilities In The Face Of A Ransomware Attack
A large CPA firm with 5 offices in the United States, and over 500 employees fell victim to a cyber-attack. This company provides international tax services, business consulting, and accounting services to private and publicly traded companies around the globe. In 2018, they were confronted with a debilitating ransomware attack on their business. By the time OFFSITE was contacted, both their production and backup environments had been compromised. The client was managing their own passwords and policies for their Veaam backup environment running on OFFSITE’s private cloud infrastructure. The bad guys were able to exploit this fact and delete all backup files after the attack encrypted all production data.
FinTech – A Case Study in Deploying & Managing Azure Remote Services
A FinTech client provides custom-developed tools for their end users to easily access in-depth custom financial portfolio data. Since their infrastructure is hosted completely in the Azure Cloud, they were looking for a solution that would integrate seamlessly and could be deployed rapidly to meet their virtual desktop needs.
In order to interact with the financial models for the application, the team required desktop software with access to the production database which is hosted as a managed instance in the Azure Cloud. This required a lengthy installation and configuration process for each app/ dev user. Those end-user laptops or desktops required significant resources to run the required commercial software.
The performance of the application was subject to the stability and bandwidth of the connectivity to the end users’ laptop or desktop, which could lead to unpredictable results with limited visibility into the metrics of the experience for the team.
Since the application required connectivity to the database with sensitive information, the risk for data exfiltration or data compromise was significantly increased. Furthermore, additional connectivity points needed to be created to allow these external users. This created additional cyber-attack vectors.
