Stopping 1,500 daily attack attempts
A growing organisation handling sensitive data, third-party relationships, and complex communications at scale.
What started as a single phishing email quickly became a serious operational threat. Within days, the organisation was facing over 1,500 automated attack attempts every 24 hours – and the volume was still climbing.
There had been no breach, but the risk was real and growing. Senior leaders were fielding daily calls about the situation, and the team had no clear way to make it stop.

What we did to help
We upgraded the organisation to Essentials Plus and had our Security Operations Centre monitoring their environment around the clock from day one. Multi-factor authentication and Conditional Access policies were deployed immediately, closing the gaps the attackers had been probing.
We also integrated Microsoft Entra to give the team centralised identity and access management – ensuring only the right people could reach the right systems, no matter where they were working from. The attack volumes dropped sharply overnight, and within days the threat had been fully contained.
