Overview
Our client is in the manufacturing industry, and his company is in the emerging stage where they are growing by increasing their exporting of machinery and tools worldwide.
As a reputed valve manufacturing company in the overseas market for machinery and tools, they have established an excellent exporting business.
Challenges We Faced:
- We met with the client to understand the scenario of the problem they were facing.
- Last year October 2021, they faced a ransomware attack. So, they formatted their entire data but didn’t take any further precautions.
- Then, the attack again took place during the crucial period of the year in March. All backup and data were destroyed, and their server data got encrypted.
- As there was some glitch or problems in the client’s data, their end point was compromised, and they faced a ransomware attack again.
- The entire production unit collapsed due to ransomware. So, their whole business got shut down.
- It was quite challenging to fix everything as we needed to execute particular tasks (planning, real-time execution, taking precautions) parallelly.
How ECS Provided Solution?
- As their production collapsed due to ransomware, ECS provided them with a temporary solution of the tally server so they could re-start production units.
- As the case was crucial, we assigned the best ECS forensics cyber security experts.
- Furthermore, we decrypted their data. And once production started, we installed the firewall and completed the firewall configuration.
- As all the endpoints of Windows 7 were compromised, we suggested changing theWindows 10. Because Windows 7 was easy to get vulnerable..
- Windows10 should be installed to enhance their overall network & Infrastructure
- But their all systems were compatible with Windows 7, and it was challenging for them to upgrade to Windows 10. So, after that, we suggested they buy and install a licensed version of Windows 7. The client purchases license versions of Windows 7 for more than 150 machines.
- With deep analysis, we checked all the online resources of our client’s website like email server, ERP server, accounting server, firewalls, and other IT assets and studied log & status reports.
- Our experts have gone through all the previous reports and dived deeper to find the root cause of the problem.
Results
- We provided our experienced certified cyber forensics consultants to tackle this issue. Then, we strengthened their firewall.
- We decrypted around 80% of their data with our data recovery service.
- As they purchased licenses for 150 machines, we provided training and advice to them to start the UTM policies (IPS, IDS) on the firewall.
- We fixed their loopholes and secured their data, servers, networks, and cloud storage.
- These types of ransomware attacks are often if you are not doing regular security audits or do not have a strong firewall on the systems.
- We advised & re-designed IT infrastructure and network security structure with the latest cyber security applications.
- Endpoints are majorly compromised with open networks but not with ECS Cyber security services.
Conclusion
