Recently we got a call from a company (we’ll call them ACME) that had experienced a breach. They weren’t sure what had happened, or when, but they knew that something was wrong.


How they found out:

They learned of the breach from a third party. The third party had noticed inconsistent activity within their system, which ACME had access to. Their system was configured to recognize suspicious activity and triggered an alarm, which was then investigated, and access to their system was revoked. They then notified ACME of the issue, and made a formal request that ACME investigate on their side.


What happened next:

ACME didn’t have a process in place to respond to this type of issue. When they learned of the problem they did what any company would do, they started asking around. They asked their IT company, they discussed internally, etc. But it was a scramble to try to figure out what to do.
