About the Client
One of India’s leading logistics, freight, and cargo transportation companies providing multi-modal transport services across air freight, sea freight, project cargo, and customs broking operations.
As a business heavily dependent on uninterrupted access to transportation records, operational systems, and customer data, maintaining infrastructure availability and cybersecurity resilience was critical to ensuring seamless logistics operations
The Problem
The organization experienced a ransomware attack targeting its primary Active Directory server through a malicious email attachment disguised as a PDF invoice.
The attack compromised critical systems supporting customer shipping records and transportation operations, creating significant operational and security risks.
Key Challenges:
- Ransomware attack bypassed existing endpoint security controls
- Critical transportation and customer data faced potential compromise
- Operational disruption risked delays in freight and cargo processing
- Existing cybersecurity measures lacked advanced threat prevention capabilities
- Backup and disaster recovery environments required immediate protection
The organization required immediate containment, secure recovery, and infrastructure hardening to restore operations and strengthen long-term cybersecurity resilience.
Our Approach
Lauren Group executed a rapid incident response and recovery strategy focused on containment, secure backup protection, cloud-based recovery, and infrastructure hardening.
Key Initiatives:
- Isolated compromised systems to prevent lateral threat propagation
- Conducted vulnerability assessments across endpoints, applications, firewalls, and cPanel environments
- Secured backup environments by disconnecting Disaster Recovery (DR) infrastructure
- Backed up critical enterprise data into Azure Data Lake for secure recovery
- Migrated workloads to Microsoft Azure using Azure Connectors and Azure Sync
- Reconfigured network security through IP modifications and alternate FQDN implementation
- Performed deep threat scanning using OEM cybersecurity solutions
- Strengthened endpoint and network security posture against future attacks
Tech Stacks Used
Cloud & Storage: Azure Data Lake, Azure Connectors, Azure Sync
Security Solutions: OEM Security Products, Firewall & Endpoint Protection
Networking & Infrastructure: Active Directory, Disaster Recovery Site Management
The Result
- Achieved zero data loss during ransomware containment and recovery
- Reduced recovery timelines by 75%, restoring operations significantly faster
- Protected critical logistics and transportation workflows from extended disruption
- Improved enterprise cybersecurity posture across infrastructure and endpoints
- Secured backup and disaster recovery environments against future threats
- Established a more resilient and cloud-enabled recovery architecture
