Ransomware Attack Contained in Under 2 Hours

Mid-Sized Distributor

A mid-sized distributor experienced a complex cyberattack when hackers accessed admin credentials from a compromised mailbox. The attackers moved laterally through three servers, circumvented geofencing using VPN technology, and spent two hours mapping the network in preparation for a significant ransomware attack. Andromeda's multi-layered security system immediately sprang into action. Our Huntress detection system identified suspicious password brute-force attempts and cross-country behavioral patterns during the attack. The network was automatically secured, preventing further lateral movement before encryption could commence. Our response team verified the threat within 15 minutes and implemented thorough containment measures. We tracked the full attack path, ensured there were no lingering backdoors, and restored all impacted systems from verified clean Datto backups. Bigleaf monitoring confirmed that no data was exfiltrated during the incident. Results Achieved: The attack was contained in under 2 hours with no data loss, complete system recovery with minimal disruption to business, an improved security posture to counteract similar threats, and avoidance of weeks of downtime and potential ransom payments. This case illustrates our proactive, process-oriented approach to cybersecurity. The combination of real-time threat detection and rapid incident response transformed a potential crisis into a manageable security situation. The client maintained full operational continuity while we neutralized the threat and reinforced their defenses. Our NIST 800-171 compliant security framework, expert response capabilities, and reliable backup systems demonstrate that effective cybersecurity is not just about prevention but also about maintaining business continuity in the face of threats.

IL Manufacturer Saves $90K with Modernized IT

Illinois-Based Shielding Manufacturer

A shielding manufacturer located in Illinois faced serious challenges with its IT infrastructure that hindered potential business expansion. The firm had inadequate IT support and lacked system standardization, depending solely on a single IT vendor who could only offer basic break/fix services. Their current setup included a mix of outdated computers, non-standard systems, and no cybersecurity measures. As they prepared to move from a 29,000 square foot rental space to a newly constructed 72,000 square foot facility, they needed a strategic IT partner that could adapt to their growth and provide extensive technology planning. Andromeda's Solution Andromeda delivered a complete IT transformation, collaborating with the construction team to create a tailored IT infrastructure for the new location. Key initiatives involved implementing access control solutions, standardizing computer systems throughout the company, transitioning appropriate servers to cloud platforms for a hybrid setup, eliminating unnecessary hardware, and establishing strong security policies. Additionally, Andromeda offered continuous remote technical support and prompt on-site assistance as required. Measurable Results The collaboration yielded significant financial and operational advantages. The manufacturer now saves between $45,000 and $90,000 each year on IT staffing while benefiting from expert technical advice. There was a complete elimination of successful email phishing attacks after implementing Andromeda's security protocols. Most critically, the company gained reliable technical expertise to pursue military cybersecurity certification and engage in strategic technology planning. This transformation positioned the manufacturer for future growth with a scalable, secure, and modernized IT infrastructure.
