The situation
Hackers wreak havoc
A large furniture manufacturer was hit by sophisticated malware on a Sunday evening. With only a few employees on site and no 24/7 threat detection installed, the attacker was able to upload a text file that allowed them to remotely launch the malware.
The challenge
Rapid and response was critical
Dynamic Quest’s team of security analysts went to work immediately. They analyzed what service was exploited, and how the hackers were able to break into the system. Once those problems were solved, our team went on to assist the client in preventing future attacks.
The solution
Establish protections against future threats
A 24/7 endpoint detection solution was implemented. Dynamic Quest’s team of security engineers worked to patch the vulnerable server and implement a security operations center (SOC) and security information and event management (SIEM) solution that provides round-the-clock protection.
The results
A secure IT environment supports a healthy financial future
Risk mitigation is crucial in a world where thousands of dollars are spent and lost due to malicious hacking software. An upgraded security solution saved the manufacturer from future trouble. The company upgraded their server to reduce vulnerabilities and implemented a SOC solution that monitored their endpoints 24/7. These solutions were able to identify attacks and prevent them from causing future damage.
