One valuable thing that did come out of that is that it proved your monitoring works and you caught the attack quickly. I also had a similar experience in where we were getting bombarded with alerts from our wifi controller all of sudden. It turned out that a pen tester showed up in the middle of the day and started to run “scans” probably with Nessus or something.

I could have done all of this myself and saved the company tens of thousands of dollars but I think management insisted it came from an outside company. It would be nice though to find an actual pen tester from the back alley of DEFCON who you have to pay in crypto or precious metals and have them do some actual hacking. :)
