Cybersecurity Overhaul After Ransomware Attempt
Completed: November 2025
The Challenge
A manufacturing company narrowly avoided a ransomware attack when an alert employee reported suspicious emails. The near-miss revealed significant security gaps that needed addressing before a successful attack occurred.
The Solution
We conducted a comprehensive security assessment, implemented endpoint detection and response (EDR), deployed email security with anti-phishing training, and established 24/7 monitoring. Regular penetration testing was scheduled.
The Outcome
Result
Cyber Essentials Plus achieved, 24/7 monitoring implemented, staff training completed
The company achieved Cyber Essentials Plus certification and has detected and blocked several attack attempts through the new monitoring. Staff security awareness has dramatically improved, and the business now meets customer security requirements.
