Request ProposalIn June 2024, Netwolf was engaged by a New Jersey industrial manufacturer (~95 employees) following a system compromise rooted in inadequate security posture.
The $2.5M Wake-Up Call
- The Breach: Unauthorized access was established through a phishing exploit targeting a single user, enabling threat actors to escalate privileges to administrative levels. Netwolf determined that this access was maintained for 60 days undetected, with active data exfiltration, before the attackers deployed their ransomware payload, encrypting primary servers and rendering local backups inoperable.
- The Impact: 21 days of operational paralysis, $2 million in revenue loss, and a $500,000 ransom demand.
Netwolf’s Response:
- Digital Forensics: Conducted forensic analysis of legacy VM snapshots to reconstruct data integrity after the loss of primary backups.
- Infrastructure Remediation: Executed a full infrastructure rebuild from the ground up, ensuring the environment was purged of all latent threats and restored to a verified secure state.
- Proactive Defenses: Deployed Netwolf’s Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform for real-time monitoring, enforced Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) globally, and engineered an immutable off-site backup strategy to ensure future resiliency.
Stay Ahead, Stay Protected
Detection gaps measured in months turn ransomware events into existential ones. Continuous monitoring and immutable backups are no longer optional controls; they are baseline insurability requirements.
