PetroTur Delivery Inc. recently faced a cyber threat from a former employee who launched an attack on PetroTur's web server, generating excessive traffic from multiple IP addresses. This malicious activity resulted in increased cloud costs and potential security risks. PetroTur operates its web server and other critical applications across multiple public cloud providers, each with its own alerting system. Cross4Alert offers a unified platform for monitoring and managing alerts from all cloud environments, enabling efficient detection and response to threats.
PetroTur utilizes multiple public cloud providers to host its web server and critical applications. The termination of an employee's contract led to a cyberattack aimed at disrupting PetroTur's web services. The distributed nature of cloud alerting systems has made it challenging to promptly identify and respond to the attack, leading to escalating costs and security vulnerabilities.
Issue: PetroTur struggles to monitor alerts from multiple cloud providers due to the lack of a unified alerting system.
