MANUFACTURING CTI EASM

From ransomware anxiety to named threats.

A North American manufacturer knew it was a target but not of whom, or through what. Three months of threat intelligence replaced the anxiety with an inventory, a prioritized exposure list, and evidence.

ENGAGEMENT SUMMARY
INDUSTRY
Manufacturing · North America
DURATION

SERVICES
Cyber Threat Intelligence · EASM-driven discovery
Shadow assets discovered and inventoried
Exploitable exposures prioritized with PoC evidence
Environment-linked IoC package delivered
Challenge

A target that couldn't see itself — or its attackers.

Unknown shadow assets

Systems spun up over years — by vendors, projects, and acquisitions — sat exposed to the internet with no owner and no record.

Ransomware anxiety

Peers in the sector were being hit, and leadership wanted an answer better than "we think we're fine."

No threat-actor visibility

Generic feed subscriptions produced volume, not insight — nothing connected known actors to this company's actual exposure.

Approach

Intelligence anchored to the actual attack surface.

01
EASM-driven shadow-asset identification

Discovery from a single seed domain surfaced the internet-facing systems no inventory listed — the ground truth the investigation was built on.

02
Nation-state-actor linkage investigation

Observed infrastructure and tradecraft were investigated for links to ransomware operations and a nation-state-backed actor targeting the sector.

03
PoC-verified findings

Every exposure that made the report was proven exploitable first — priorities backed by evidence, not scanner scores.

Results

A threat picture the team could act on.
