Our Impact

The Challenge

The client is part of the UK’s Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) operating a distribution network that provides electricity to over 910,000 customers. They required a solution that could deliver reliable, timely and actionable cyber threat intelligence to help them influence their policy making, vulnerability management and reaction to upcoming and ongoing threats.

The client required focus on three main areas of interest:

Attacks on CNI targets, especially those in the energy market or the UK
Vulnerabilities listed for their extensive technology stack, including guidance on remediation.
Attacks or threats to their Supply Chain and impacts to the client and their parent company’s reputation.

Talan's Solution

After being approached by the client, Talan created and delivered weekly threat reports these main areas:

Sector and Region-specific intelligence
Technology Stack vulnerability intelligence
Extended Supply Chain Monitoring
Social Media and Brand

The Impact

The client has enhanced their security posture and awareness by actioning the weekly intelligence reports that we have provided, with further benefits including:

They have ensured that their managed service provider updated and improved their patching scheduling as the client was fully aware of their technology stack vulnerabilities.
Implementation of security measures to combat known threats and vulnerabilities.
The ability to investigate credential leaks that they have had and have passed on intelligence to their parent company.
Awareness throughout the organisation has been raised and the intelligence has been used to enhance business cases.
