Faster Recovery Time – Reduced system downtime and restored operations efficiently.
About the Client
The client is a leading logistics, freight, and cargo transport company in India, providing multi-modal transport solutions including air freight, sea freight, project cargo, and customs broking. As a key player in the industry, their operations rely heavily on secure and uninterrupted access to transportation records and customer data.
The Problem
The company’s primary Active Directory server—housing vital customer shipping and transportation records—was hit by a ransomware attack originating from a malicious email attachment disguised as a PDF
Why It Was Critical
- The attack bypassed endpoint security, compromising sensitive data.
- Operational disruption risked delays in freight and cargo processing.

Our Approach
Lauren took immediate action to contain, mitigate, and strengthen the company’s security posture:
- Isolated the compromised server to prevent lateral spread.
- Conducted vulnerability assessments across endpoints, firewalls, applications, and cPanel.
- Severed connections to the Disaster Recovery (DR) site to protect backup data.
- Backed up critical data in Azure Data Lake for secure storage.
- Migrated workloads to Azure Cloud using Azure Connectors and Azure Sync, ensuring continuous operations.
- Modified network security by changing IP addresses and implementing an alternate Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN).
- Performed deep security scans using OEM security tools to eliminate residual threats.
