Case Study: SDI Media achieves minutes‑instead‑of‑days WannaCry response with 1E's Tachyon

How Tachyon helped SDI Media react to WannaCry in minutes (rather than days)

SDI Media, a global TV and film localization company with about 1,500 endpoints across 40 countries, faced a critical challenge when the WannaCry ransomware outbreak hit. Protecting high‑value digital content meant they needed immediate, real‑time visibility to know which machines were infected and which had missed critical Windows updates — something their existing SCCM-based processes would take days or weeks to assess.

By deploying 1E’s Tachyon and the WannaCry Product Pack, SDI could query and change endpoints instantly, push the SMBv1 switch‑off and required hotfixes, and identify machines that hadn’t received updates. The result: response times dropped from days to minutes, sharply reducing exposure to the ransomware and giving SDI real‑time control over its distributed IT estate.
