Use Cases

The company repeatedly faced various types of viral attacks. Despite having basic security systems in place, infections occurred with alarming frequency. After losing faith in their antivirus software, the technical specialists decided to implement SCOPD.

The data collected by the SCOPD system revealed that the weak link was the company’s employees themselves. The target of the attackers turned out to be HR managers, who received phishing emails disguised as resumes from job candidates. As soon as the HR manager opened the file, the malware would begin to spread throughout the system. A set of tools provided by SCOPD allowed the company to regain control of the situation. First, all incoming and outgoing emails and messenger messages were filtered by the system. These communication channels were the primary method through which viruses were being spread. Second, real-time traffic analysis and web-surfing control helped reduce the level of threat. If employees visited questionable websites or there was a sudden spike in data transfers, SCOPD immediately alerted the responsible person and blocked the suspicious activity. Third, predictive risk analysis allowed the system to assess which elements would likely be targeted in future attacks. User activity monitoring further strengthened the security perimeter, providing quick responses to threats and notifying about any suspicious incidents.
