Tech Enterprise Stops State-Sponsored IP Theft
Project overview
A leading technology enterprise was the target of a long-running Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) group linked to a foreign state, focused on intellectual property (IP) theft. The attacks were highly customized and evaded traditional security measures, posing an existential risk to the client's competitive edge.
Project execution
We implemented a multi-layered defense featuring our Behavioral Identity Graph to profile expected user and process activity. This allowed us to detect and flag anomalous activity tied to the APT group's internal reconnaissance. We then used micro-segmentation and forensic analysis to isolate and successfully remove the threat actor's implants before critical data was compromised.
Project results
SpyModex delivered a definitive end to the espionage campaign and fortified the client's defenses:
- Complete neutralization of the state-sponsored APT presence within 72 hours.
- 100% preservation of critical R&D data and intellectual property.
- Reduction in false-positive alerts by 45% through more accurate behavioral modeling.
- Established a Zero-Trust policy for all R&D infrastructure to prevent future lateral movement.
