Case Study: IMPACT Technology Group Stops Qakbot Malware with Blackpoint Cyber

Blackpoint Cyber Detains Qakbot Information-Stealing Malware

IMPACT Technology Group, a managed IT and cybersecurity service provider, partnered with Blackpoint Cyber to enhance its security offerings with Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and a Webroot integration. Their challenge was to provide robust protection for their customers against sophisticated threats, which required a solution capable of detecting and responding to attacks that can evade traditional security tools like standard antivirus.

Blackpoint Cyber’s solution utilized its SNAP-Defense platform and Managed EDR service to provide true 24/7 monitoring. This integrated approach successfully detected and contained a Qakbot malware infection in just two minutes, from alert to host isolation. The rapid response prevented data theft and potential lateral movement, with Blackpoint’s SOC providing a detailed incident report for remediation. This result demonstrated the measurable impact of their service, with the customer praising Blackpoint's almost instant response for ensuring business continuity.
