Strengthen Defenses from the Inside Out to Withstand Advanced Cyberattacks

Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly frequent, with enterprises of all industries and sizes at risk of becoming targets for hackers. Recently, a hacker group claimed to have successfully breached the internal systems of an internationally renowned film production company, stole more than 1TB of data from its internal communication platform. The stolen data includes promotional materials, production technology, and job seekers' personal information etc.

According to the hacker group, they initially infiltrated the computer of the company's software development manager in this May by exploiting the video game mod installed, and then further breached the internal system. Unlike other cyber incidents, this hacker group did not publicly demand a ransom. Instead, they claimed that their purpose was to "protect artists rights” and “ensure fair compensation for their work”. Even though this victim might not suffer financial loss, its reputation has already been damaged, which impact its long-term development. To effectively defend against data breaches, enterprises must adopt a multi-pronged approach, strengthening their defenses "from the inside out" to effectively address any potential vulnerabilities and lowering cyber risks.

The above data breach incident exposes several potential problems. Firstly, the lack of security awareness from employees may be the cause of installing unauthorized programs, creating vulnerabilities for cyberattacks. Secondly, the company failed to detect the program's potential threats in a timely manner. Inadequate vulnerability assessments and the lack of real-time interception measures using edge and endpoint protection further exacerbated the situation. Additionally, the internal system was compromised as early as May 2024, with a large amount of data already be stolen. However, it remained undetected by the company until it was made public by the hacker group itself in July 2024, indicating insufficient monitoring and failure to detect abnormal data traffic.
