Case Study: Baker McMillen Company achieves rapid recovery and ransomware protection with Binary Defense MDR

Binary Defense MDR Protects Manufacturing Operations

The Baker McMillen Company, a 145-year-old manufacturer and supplier of quality wood products, faced a crippling ransomware attack that halted order processing and carried an $80,000 Bitcoin demand. With a small IT team and limited cybersecurity expertise, the company turned to Binary Defense and its Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service to regain control and protect operations.

Binary Defense deployed lightweight nano agents the same day and provided 24/7 monitoring through its Security Operations Center (SOC), allowing Baker McMillen to resume operations in under 24 hours. The Binary Defense MDR team detected and removed a hidden secondary threat that would have re-encrypted servers and likely generated another large ransom demand, delivering measurable impact in rapid recovery, prevention of further encryption, and restored business continuity and peace of mind.
