Tiryaki's Triumph: Shielding Ports and People from Phishing Attacks

Explore how Tiryaki bolstered its defenses against phishing attacks by 89% and reduced costs related to handling phishing scams at its ports by up to 80%

Case Study: Protecting Ports from Phishing

Introduction

Tiryaki, a global agricultural company with 50 years of experience, operates in 40 sourcing and 50 distribution countries, with an annual turnover of $2.5 billion. 

With 1,100 employees across various locations, including many ports, Tiryaki faces ongoing phishing attacks that threaten its assets and reputation. Due to the workforce's spread-out locations, these attacks are hard to manage.

To combat this, Tiryaki turned to Keepnet's complete, automated phishing solution, which includes ongoing training to monitor and improve employee behavior, boost digital defenses, and protect assets and reputation.

Successful Outcomes

  • Employees improved phishing detection by 89% in 12 months.

  • Saved $10,792 annually in incident response time.

  • Prevented potential financial loss by $154,616 per year.

Unraveling the Consequences of Phishing Attacks

Without strong protection against phishing, Tiryaki faced serious threats. Managing human risk, which causes 95% of cybersecurity problems, was tough due to its global reach. These attacks are serious because one phishing incident can cost a business over $1 million.

  • Legal compliance: Tiryaki's industry regulations mandate regular cyber threat training for employees. Non-compliance risks legal penalties.

  • Financial impact: Successful phishing attacks that cause data breaches or ransom demands can lead to significant monetary losses.

  • Reputation: Any data breach could damage trust among customers, employees, and partners, affecting Tiryaki's reputation.

  • Operational Disruption: Handling suspicious activities or actual attacks can disrupt regular business operations.

  • Identity and Fraud Risks: Phishing attacks often steal confidential information, leading to identity theft and potential fraud.

"We trained 1,100 global employees, achieving an 89% phishing identification success rate within a year. This program bolstered our defenses and enhanced our security culture. Financially, we've successfully protected customer data and protect our reputation.”
