Case Study: Large Manufacturing Company stops ransomware spread with Awake Security

Large Manufacturing Company - Customer Case Study

Large Manufacturing Company was evaluating the Awake Security Platform during a proof-of-value trial when a ransomware attack hit its Atlanta, GA facility. The attack involved Sodinokibi ransomware encrypting more than 2,500 files and shutting down four critical servers, with attackers demanding $750,000 to restore access.

Awake Security used network traffic analysis to identify suspicious admin logins, disabled User Account Control, PowerShell-based activity tied to PasteBin, and lateral movement attempts from Atlanta toward the Dallas environment. By detecting the ransomware TTPs and warning the security team in time, Awake Security helped stop the attack from spreading to Dallas, limiting the damage to the unmonitored Atlanta location.
