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.
