The school district oversees 140+ school buildings and educates over 180,000 students. In the 2022-2023 academic year, many school districts experienced cyberattacks, as reported by the White House and GAO. KELA Group’s Cyber Intelligence Platform swiftly identified and secured the education institute’s internet assets.    

A few years ago, Universities had to shift to remote teaching methods due to Covid-19, which resulted in increased vulnerability of CTI systems to cyber-attacks. Osaka University responded proactively by devising a plan to strengthen their cyber security and chose KELA’s Cyber Threat Intelligence platform to support them.

As part of an ongoing automated cybercrime attack surface monitoring for a customer – a US Law Enforcement Agency, KELA’s Platform detected an image of a check from a fraud-dedicated Telegram group.

KELA recently utilized its automated attack surface monitoring module to identify a list of credit card numbers that belonged to a Japanese Financial Company. Fortunately, KELA had pre-set each credit card issued by the company as a monitored organizational asset on its platform. These cards were active and had a cumulative balance of over $750,000.
