Ransomware recovery process demonstrated in new case study

This case study examines how a UK lighting manufacturer recovered from a ransomware attack. In June 2023, they activated their disaster recovery plan and worked with Covenco, an IT services provider, for a rapid response.

Challenges included the lack of an air-gapped backup, encrypted backups, and the need to recreate critical servers. Covenco deployed temporary hardware, set up a new backup environment, and used forensic recovery to restore data.

Covenco prioritized restoring essential operations within seven days. The study also covers post-incident responses, including data sanitization, network security improvements, and enhanced backup measures.
