Case Study: Containing an Attack at a Beverage Plant

This case study follows a mid-sized beverage manufacturer from the first anomalous login to full recovery, told with the member’s permission and key details anonymised.

What stands out is not sophisticated tooling but preparation: segmentation kept the intruder away from the bottling line, monitoring caught the lateral movement early, and a rehearsed plan meant the right people were in a room within the hour.

Production never stopped. The report distils the decisions that made that possible into a checklist other members can adopt.
