Case Study: NACCO Industries, Inc. achieves 24/7 endpoint protection and peace of mind with Binary Defense MDR

MDR Helps Protect The Assets Of One Of The Nation’s Top Coal Suppliers

NACCO Industries, Inc., the parent company of North American Coal and one of the largest coal providers in the U.S., needed to protect large volumes of proprietary and operational data with a small, remote IT and cybersecurity team. Facing the need for a non‑intrusive, low‑impact solution to safeguard executives and remote workers, NACCO turned to Binary Defense and its Managed Detection & Response (MDR) offering to provide continuous endpoint protection and threat detection.

Binary Defense deployed its MDR across NACCO’s user workstations and servers—installed in about an hour—and provided 24x7 SOC monitoring, advanced endpoint detection, lightweight deployment, and real‑time threat analysis. The service acts as an extension of NACCO’s security team, delivering around‑the‑clock alerts and guidance, reducing time spent chasing false positives, enabling proactive blocking and response actions, and giving NACCO greater confidence that key systems and remote devices are continuously protected by Binary Defense.
