Case Study: Speedway Motorsports, Inc. achieves a 94% reduction in malware response time and blocks encryption-style attacks with Bitdefender GravityZone

Cybersecurity at Speedway Motorsports beats the clock

Speedway Motorsports, Inc., a motorsports marketing and promoter with 1,200 employees and eight speedways across the U.S., was repeatedly hit by encryption-style attacks and endemic endpoint infections across 12 locations. Existing solutions (Symantec Endpoint Security and Microsoft Security Essentials) frequently missed threats, forcing IT to spend 9–12 hours on recovery after major incidents and about four hours per virus removal, so the company selected Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security to address the gaps.

Bitdefender deployed GravityZone across more than 1,100 PCs, Apple and virtual desktops, servers and mobile devices in about a month, giving Speedway Motorsports centralized, lightweight protection and management. As a result Bitdefender reduced IT time spent on malware response from roughly four hours to 15 minutes per week (≈94% reduction), saved $35,000–$40,000 by avoiding a help-desk hire, blocked nearly all encryption-style attacks, improved workstation performance, and helped ensure PCI compliance.
