global bank reduces customer phishing

Challenge

The bank needed a better solution to address growing phishing threats and other attacks targeting its customers and employees.

In addition to typical phishing campaigns, criminals leveraged the following tactics to exploit banking customers:

  • Uses a generic URL targeting a well-known organization to avoid detection while impersonating multiple banks within the webpage content, making the fraudulent site appear legitimate to unsuspecting users.

  • Uses specific mobile or residential internet service providers to evade detection.

Along with fighting external threats, the customer needed the necessary capabilities to meet their specific internal needs:

  • Dedicated reporting to segment attacks by region or country.

  • The ability for non-SOC staff to report attacks, saving on training time and increasing accessibility.
