Full Incident Analysis Transcript

In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the CPI breach identified under incident ID UK-1770508589.

The analysis begins with a detailed overview of CPI's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/uk-cpi, the number of followers: 30152, the industry type: Research Services and the number of employees: 1472 employees

After the initial compromise, the video explains how Rankiteo's incident engine converts technical details into a normalized incident score. The incident score before the incident was 758 and after the incident was 650 with a difference of -108 which is could be a good indicator of the severity and impact of the incident.

In the next step of the video, we will analyze in more details the incident and the impact it had on CPI and their customers.
