Incident response at Magnetbau Schramme: Save IT with expertise. Thanks to G DATA CyberDefense, Magnetbau Schramme was quickly back to work after a ransomware attack.
A badly secured computer is enough for cyber criminals to smuggle ransomware into the company network and paralyze the IT infrastructure. Magnetbau Schramme also had to experience this. The incident response specialists from G DATA CyberDefense helped restore the systems and then improved IT security.
No 100 percent security
There is no such thing as one hundred percent IT security. Magnetbau also had to have this experience
Make a scratch. Thanks to good preparation and active help from G DATA CyberDefense, the manufacturer of electromagnets was quickly able to act again after a successful ransomware attack and was able to restore the systems. In June 2019, ransomware attacked the company's network and encrypted data. Instead of responding to the ransom demand, the family business commissioned the incident response specialists from G DATA to rid the systems of the ransomware, make the IT infrastructure operational again and ensure that the attackers no longer have access to it.
"In this exceptional situation, the cooperation with the specialists worked very well," says Marcello Ficht, Head of IT at Magnetbau Schramme. “We worked closely together and quickly found solutions. A precise analysis of the course of events was also important to improve IT security. "

With specially tailored software, the G DATA experts identified all infected systems and cleaned them up completely.

With strong IT security measures and comprehensive documentation, all systems could be cleaned up and, where necessary, set up again within four days.
"Thanks to the immediate help from G DATA and our good IT security strategy, we were able to repair the damage quickly and were soon able to act again," says Marcello Ficht. "Due to the separate networks, production could continue to work almost without restriction, so that the financial damage was limited."
