IDC Spotlight Paper on the Critical Category of Data Mining and AI-Disrupted Incident Response

Industrial Manufacturing Company

A major US industrial manufacturer with dozens of external contracts experienced a significant cyber incident. The breach compromised Critical Business Data tied to 24 different clients. The stolen data included engineering schematics for specialized vehicles utilized by multiple organizations across the country.

The manufacturer needed an expert partner to assess the scope, identify affected data, categorize it by program, and communicate effectively with key stakeholders. ACTFORE’s proven expertise in managing complex B2B breaches positioned them as the ideal choice to address this critical situation.

ACTFORE’s approach began with a comprehensive data inventory spanning 50 terabytes across five servers. The process involves detecting unique and consistently used attributes such as codenames and acronyms while excluding common phrases. During the analysis, ACTFORE discovered the staging area used by the threat actors- an intentional repository for exfiltrated data.
