FSP has been providing cyber and threat management support to a Defence Contractor in the UK.

The Challenge

A Defence Contractor was impacted by a significant Cyber Attack. This cyber attack put them and their customers at risk of extortion. FSP were engaged when little was known about the threat, and when it had been established that a real attack had happened and that the impact on the business would be significant.

The Solution

Within 45 mins of notification, FSP made their response team available, and established a secure telecommunications channel with the customer. This team was led by FSP’s lead for incident response who has significant experience of dealing with similar challenges in large organisations. This approach ensured both the technical response as well as the business impact was effectively managed.
