Manufacturing Giant Refuses to Pay Ransom and Evicts Attackers in Hours

A manufacturing giant chose Paladion’s breach management services to defend themselves against an in-progress ransomware attack. After Paladion quickly and successfully remediated the threat, the manufacturing company signed up for Paladion’s full AI-driven MDR program.

Challenge: The company suffered a ransomware attack that infected over 450 of their systems in less than an hour, with a ransom of over $5 million USD in XBT.

Solution: Paladion deployed their breach management services. These included sending an incident response team to the client site, combined with remote analysis. Paladion was able to extract and detonate the cryptoworm behind the attack, and returned the manufacturing company to operation later that day.

Results: By partnering with Paladion, this manufacturing giant:

• Actively investigated and identified the methodology behind the ransomware attack.
• Removed the threat and returned the business to operations within 12 hours of discovering the attack, and within 5 hours of calling Paladion.
• Began to safeguard their systems with a full AI-driven MDR program.
• Reduced incident analysis effort by over 50%.
• Increased speed to detect, and time to remove threats, by over 80% each.
