Protecting Critical Infrastructure

Critical infrastructure organizations face relentless and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats that can bypass even enterprise-grade firewalls. This case study underscores the real-world consequences of overlooked vulnerabilities and emphasizes the need for a multi-layered defense strategy. When a Linux-based server was targeted by an attempted exfiltration of the /etc/hosts file, a file often overlooked for its sensitivity, Secnap’s CloudJacket MDR solution quickly identified and stopped the threat, even when a leading firewall failed to detect it. This case highlights the importance of expert-driven monitoring and intelligent threat detection in protecting vital systems from unseen risks.

Whether you’re managing utilities, transportation systems, or other critical infrastructure, Secnap provides the proactive security posture required to outpace modern cyber adversaries and protect your organization from silent intrusions that can lead to large-scale compromises.
