In this case, ShieldWatch successfully detected and stopped a sophisticated MFA bypass phishing attack targeting three employees of a U.S.-based organization. Despite two users falling for the phishing lure and inadvertently exposing session tokens, ShieldWatch’s real-time alerts, enrichment with threat intelligence, and rapid escalation enabled a complete and effective containment—all before the attackers could cause damage.
During the first evaluation, ShieldWatch successfully detected and contained an attempted account takeover within 14 minutes—before any real damage could be done. The client, who had not yet enabled Auto-Containment or ChatOps features, still benefited from ShieldWatch’s advanced triage and real-time escalation capabilities. This event underscores ShieldWatch’s power to detect and prevent breaches even in test environments.
ShieldWatch recently onboarded a small U.S.-based enterprise that believed their cybersecurity posture was solid. But upon initial telemetry ingestion, ShieldWatch’s automated triage immediately uncovered a serious — yet silent — issue: one employee’s credentials were being accessed from multiple countries across the globe. While no material damage had occurred (yet), the exposure was real. ShieldWatch helped the company identify and remediate the threat before it escalated into a financial or operational disaster.
