Challenge:
A premier manufacturer with IoT and OT systems faced a massive ransomware attack that completely halted production. After spending millions in ransom and lost production, the company struggled to recover. With limited internal security resources, they needed a comprehensive solution to secure their environment and prevent future incidents.
Solution:
UncommonX deployed its MDR/XDR solution, mapping every device, tool, and connection on the manufacturer’s network. Our platform provided complete visibility of their IoT and OT systems, enabling quick identification of the attack’s origin. The UncommonX team contained and removed the threat, restored affected areas, and ensured systems were secure. The UncommonX platform was implemented for real-time monitoring and customized daily logging, with our 24/7 Managed SOC providing ongoing situational awareness.
Results:
The manufacturer achieved complete visibility of their entire environment, including all IoT and OT devices. This enhanced visibility significantly improved their security maturity and mitigated future risks. It also provided system intelligence and insight to improve their overall IT and network management. Since partnering with UncommonX, the company has not experienced any further incidents, and their environment remains protected with 24/7 monitoring.
