Real-World Consequences

The financial impact of a mainframe breach is measured in billions, not millions. 

Anthem Health faced over $500 million in settlements and five years of litigation with 43 state attorneys general after attackers accessed 79 million patient records. 

Equifax spent weeks determining what was affected, ultimately costing $1.4 billion with 147 million records compromised. 

UnitedHealth took a $3 billion write-down and went offline for nine days — leaving a third of Americans temporarily unable to access healthcare.

These organizations had perimeter security. They had access controls. They had backup strategies. What they did not have was the ability to detect credential-based attacks in progress, contain them in seconds, and recover surgically. That is the gap CSF was built to close.


The Cost of Inaction

Anthem's 2015 breach: 78.8 million patient records, undetected for three months, five years of litigation, over five hundred million dollars. UnitedHealth Group in 2024: a third of all Americans affected, nine-day outage, three billion dollar write-down. Equifax in 2017: 147 million consumer records, 1.4 billion dollars.

Common thread: slow detection, unclear scope, prolonged recovery. CSF addresses all three.
