A threat actor brought a software and services provider’s business to a halt by locking it out of its network and deleting its entire cloud environment, including email. That’s when the company called Unit 42.

After a healthcare provider’s environment—including all of its viable backups— was locked by a ransomware attack, it needed experts who could understand the problem and rapidly craft a response to get its network back up and running, recover its data, and secure the network against future threats.

When a financial services management firm was attacked by a state-sponsored threat actor and its customers lost substantial funds, the company turned to Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 Incident Response team to identify the point of entry and attack chain leveraged by the threat actor.

A large automotive manufacturer needed to strengthen its defenses following a business email compromise event that exposed key gaps in their incident response plan. They turned to the Unit 42 team for in-depth incident response planning customized to their environment and ongoing IR retainer services.
