Case Study: John B. Sanfilippo & Son
For John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. (JBSS), its approach to security was simple: a process of
“continuous improvement.” Unlike organizations that struggle to justify additional investments in
cybersecurity until after a breach, JBSS’s security strategy is to stay proactive and ahead of any
unacceptable cybersecurity risks, whether they are financial loss or reputational damage. Although
the company had a handle on email protection, the dramatic rise in ransomware threats and changes
to cyber insurance policies prompted the company to seek additional capabilities to improve their
Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) to latent social engineering threats
in employee mailboxes.
