CYBERSPAN deployed across a customer’s facility network flagged an access point that had been unintentionally left active within the first weeks of operation. The device was generating unexplained outbound DNS traffic that had gone undetected by the existing IT team.
Once identified, the customer disabled the device in the same maintenance window. What followed surprised them: overall network traffic stabilized noticeably, latency on internal communications dropped, and the IT team reported that day-to-day troubleshooting became easier because they could finally see what was on their network and what it was doing.
CYBERSPAN alerted a customer to suspicious activity on a device exhibiting behavioral patterns consistent with LUMMA STEALER, a credential-harvesting malware family increasingly targeting organizations across critical infrastructure sectors.
Using CYBERSPAN’s near-real-time traffic analysis and built-in network diagnostics, the customer’s team was able to assess the scope of the activity, confirm the threat appeared contained to a single device, and remediate before lateral movement could occur. The speed of detection meant the team spent hours responding, not days recovering.
During routine monitoring, CYBERSPAN flagged a networked printer making unexpected external callouts. The device had been misconfigured during a recent firmware update and had been quietly generating external traffic for an unknown period of time; long enough that the team had begun assuming slow network performance was just normal.
The customer reconfigured the device and the external traffic stopped immediately. Network performance improved noticeably. It was a reminder that in a lean organization, security hygiene and network performance are often the same problem, and that visibility is the prerequisite for both.
