Case Study: Medibank achieves 100% ransomware prevention with Carbon Black

Medibank uses Dynamic Approach to Endpoint Security

Medibank, a leading Australian private health insurer, was repeatedly targeted by ransomware that routinely bypassed its legacy antivirus tools (about 2–3 successful bypasses per quarter). Seeking a more proactive endpoint strategy, Medibank turned to Carbon Black and deployed CB Response and CB Protection to augment its signature-based AV defenses.

Carbon Black’s CB Protection and CB Response provided complete endpoint visibility and real-time protection, allowing Medibank to prevent 100% of ransomware attack attempts and gain greater insight into user and insider behavior. The Carbon Black solution improved timeliness of detections, helped the security team implement additional controls more effectively, and replaced gaps left by traditional AV.
