Consumer packaged goods
When a consumer packaged goods company experienced a cybersecurity crisis event, within one hour, their public relations agency of record helped the client solve the issues and created a corporate communication response to the impacted consumers and suppliers who received the phishing email.
The business challenge
Management at the e-commerce retailer contacted the PR firm about a phishing incident, a suspicious email sent from their primary customer outreach email addresses they did not send.
The solution
The PR agency knew to review the logs and headers from the email to determine the machine the phishing email was sent from. Axia also connected the brand with its company’s managed security service provider, who began offering the brand services immediately because they did not yet have an incumbent MSSP.
The results
Within 1 hour, Axia:
- Identified the issue
- Connected the client with a trusted MSSP
- Consulted the client to create policies and make internal changes to control, manage, and install security methods, such as implementing 2FA, to all of its email address, and stop using an expected email address of info@domain.com to make it less easily targeted.
- Sent an external communication to all impacted consumers:
