M&A Cybersecurity Assessments
Summary: Volexity describes an M&A security assessment in which a global industrial technology company acquiring another firm engaged Volexity to evaluate the prospect's cybersecurity posture. Using Network Security Sensors to analyze traffic for malware beaconing and proactive memory collections of critical systems, Volexity found a previously undetected, active ransomware threat actor.
What's compelling: The acquiring company only learned of an active ransomware actor inside its acquisition target because it looked before closing the gap - the same compromise would otherwise have crossed into the main infrastructure, where remediation would have been far more costly.
