Case Study: Trusona ATO Protect at Grand Canyon Education, Inc.

In September 2023, MGM Resorts International, the gaming giant, experienced a major ransomware attack that brought its operations to a screeching halt. It was a social engineering attack where the attackers gained super administrator privileges by providing the MGM Help Desk with basic employee information, most likely obtained from LinkedIn. MGM anticipates around $100 million in revenue loss from this incident.

The relative ease of the MGM attack got the immediate attention of Michael Manrod, CISO at Grand Canyon Education, Inc. Mike realized that any organization, including his own, was vulnerable to such exploitation, even more so when the new power of Generative AI is unleashed.
