Case Study
Major financial institution engages Unit 42 to investigate presumed insider threat
A major financial institution engaged Unit 42 to conduct a comprehensive investigation into a suspected insider threat, relying on the sophisticated expertise and advanced tools provided by Palo Alto Networks. By deploying high-fidelity security analytics and forensic software, the team effectively mapped anomalous behavioral patterns and identified potential data exfiltration pathways. Palo Alto Networks software provided the essential, deep visibility and granular audit capabilities necessary to reconstruct complex user activities across the network. By leveraging this unified, intelligent platform, Unit 42 successfully mitigated the immediate risk, pinpointed critical vulnerabilities, and helped the institution harden its defensive posture against future internal threats.
