Use Case-I
The Crisis: A Perfect Storm of Ransomware and Quantum Threats
A leading global bank faced a devastating ransomware attack that exploited vulnerable APIs and weak VPN encryption. Hackers not only locked critical systems but also harvested RSA-encrypted customer data – including account details and transaction records – for future quantum decryption. The immediate damage totaled $20M ($2M recovery, $5M downtime, $3M GDPR fines, $10M customer churn), with a looming $50M quantum fraud risk if stolen data was later decrypted. The breach escalated into a national security concern, threatening financial system stability.
Scenario: BFSI Firm Faces Ransomware Attack
- A Fortune 500 bank suffers a ransomware attack that exploits API vulnerabilities and insecure VPN access, resulting in a data breach of customer financial records. Adversaries harvest RSA-encrypted data for future quantum decryption.
- The breach costs $20M: $2M in ransomware recovery, $5M in downtime (5 days), $3M in GDPR fines, and $10M in revenue loss due to customer churn. Future quantum decryption risks $50M in fraud losses.
- The breach triggers a national security crisis.
