SEPA: Case Study
Sector/Main Activities:
Environmental Regulator
Location:
Scotland-wide
The Background
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) is Scotland's principal environmental regulator, protecting and improving Scotland's environment.
As Scotland’s environmental watchdog, SEPA is one of the most high-profile organisations to suffer a serious ransomware attack this side of the border.
The Solution
Capito was engaged to mobilise SEPA’s end users. During this process, we sourced the appropriate equipment, processed it to get it end user-ready and then delivered directly to their homes.
Capito further supported SEPA by collecting all existing devices and carrying out the relevant diagnostics in accordance with National Cyber Security centre approved software to ensure that they could be safely redeployed.
The Outcome
Our team’s response and engagement helped SEPA to expedite operationality in the wake of this catastrophic cyberattack.
