The same attack, contained in minutes.
These are the incidents we see again and again. Pick a scenario to see what normally happens, and what happens with Thea in place.
"The login succeeds at 2am. '24×7 support' doesn't mean anyone is watching."
A senior partner's credentials are compromised and the attacker logs in overnight. It looks legitimate. The attacker now has access, unnoticed, reading emails, setting rules, and redirecting activity, they can now remain undetected for days, weeks, or even months. "24×7 support" turns out to be an on-call number, not active monitoring.
Impact- No clear point of compromise
- No certainty on what's been accessed
- Difficult conversations with clients and regulators
The login succeeds but fails our behavioural checks instantly:
- Wrong profile
- Wrong user context
- High risk within seconds
- The attacker's session is terminated
- Reauthentication is forced
- The user's account is temporarily blocked
Outcome: the attack is contained in minutes. No data is breached and no fraudulent activity takes place.
"They don't just change bank details… they convince the buyer it's normal."
An attacker logs into a solicitor's account and sits inside a live transaction, reading emails and following the thread. They mirror the solicitor's tone and build trust with a first-time buyer who has never been through the process before. At the right moment, they introduce new payment details and reassure the buyer it's standard, and the money is sent.
Impact- Life savings are lost
- Firm faces legal exposure
- Serious reputational damage
The login succeeds but fails our behavioural checks instantly:
- Wrong profile
- Wrong user context
- High risk within seconds
- The attacker's session is terminated
- Reauthentication is forced
- The user's account is temporarily blocked
Outcome: the attack is contained in minutes. No fraudulent activity takes place and no money is lost.
"The order looks legitimate. The login didn't."
An attacker logs in as staff and gains access to supplier communications, reading emails and understanding how orders are placed. They place a plant hire order with a real supplier and redirect delivery.
Impact- Teams arrive on site with no equipment and work stops
- The supplier still expects payment for legitimate orders
- Difficult conversations with clients, suppliers and insurers
The login succeeds but fails our behavioural checks instantly:
- Wrong profile
- Wrong user context
- High risk within seconds
- The attacker's session is terminated
- Reauthentication is forced
- The user's account is temporarily blocked
Outcome: the attack is contained in minutes. No false orders are placed and no disruption to work.
"It's not just a phishing email. It's a trusted voice."
An attacker logs into a staff account and studies previous communications, reading emails and understanding tone and audience. They send messages that feel completely genuine. Members trust the sender, because it is the sender, and engage, clicking links that lead to further downstream attacks.
Impact- Members are exposed and their details breached
- Complaints follow
- Brand trust is damaged almost instantly
The login succeeds but fails our behavioural checks instantly:
- Doesn't match user behaviour
- Multiple anomalies
- Instant escalation
- The attacker's session is terminated
- Reauthentication is forced
- The user's account is temporarily blocked
Outcome: the attack is contained in minutes. No emails are sent and no impact to members' trust.
"When your client relationships are personal, every breach is too."
An MSP supports clients built on long-standing relationships. Security varies, and consistent controls don't scale across every environment. An attacker logs in and begins reading emails, replying as the user, and blending into normal activity.
Impact- Confusion spreads
- Personal trust is damaged
- Facing up to a situation that was expected to have been prevented
No reliance on licensing tiers or complex rollout. The login succeeds but is immediately challenged:
- Behaviour doesn't match
- Context is wrong
- Risk spikes instantly
- The attacker's session is terminated
- Reauthentication is forced
- The user's account is temporarily blocked
Outcome: the attack is contained in minutes. No interaction, no spread, no incident.
"Investment completed. Breach follows, company valuation drops."
A private equity group owns companies with different systems and levels of cyber maturity. After acquiring a new portfolio company, an unexpected vulnerability is discovered when suspicious activity, ransomware deployment, and data theft impacts the business. They do not know if this vulnerability affects the rest of the portfolio.
Impact- Remediation and incident response costs
- Operational disruption and reputational damage
- Difficult conversations with investors and clients
- Inconsistent exposure visibility across the portfolio
Internet-facing weaknesses and exposed services are identified before attackers can exploit them. Rapid, simple, consistent assessment of risk across all group companies.
Agentic AI testing reveals- Externally exposed system identified
- High-risk vulnerabilities prioritised
- Real-world external exposure assessed
- The vulnerability is identified across multiple portfolio companies
Outcome: better informed investment decisions, reduced cyber and reputational risk. Cyber remediation during acquisition avoids a cyber breach.
"One small change exposes the platform. Attackers find it before the business does."
Continual deployment of new applications, APIs, integrations, and infrastructure changes to support the business. A misconfiguration exposes a service and vulnerabilities which are visible to attackers. The weakness is exploited, leading to service disruption, data exposure, and fraudulent activity.
Impact- Revenue loss during downtime
- Customer trust and brand damage
- High pressure incident response during live operations
The exposed service is identified during continuous external assessment shortly after it becomes accessible.
Agentic AI testing reveals- New externally exposed service detected
- Vulnerability identified and prioritised by risk
- Real-world external exposure assessed
Outcome: exposure identified before it has a chance to be exploited, with remediation during live operations. No loss of revenue, customer trust or brand damage.
