Case Study: TaylorMade disarms ransomware and halves recovery time with Code42 CrashPlan

Universal, continuous protection of endpoint data simplifies migration and cuts time on tickets

TaylorMade‑adidas Golf Company, a global leader in golf equipment with about 1,500 employees and a 120‑person mobile sales force, was hit by ransomware when an email attachment encrypted endpoint files on more than 20 machines. Their legacy backup tool (Altiris) lacked continuous protection and reliable reporting, which would have forced lengthy, manual restores or costly outsourcing and left users without critical data for a week or more.

By using Code42 CrashPlan’s automatic, continuous endpoint backup, IT made a clean restore to the point just before the attack and never considered paying the ransom. Bulk restores cut recovery time by about 50%, returned devices with data in one to two days instead of weeks, and continue to save IT time daily while providing full endpoint visibility, remote restores for traveling reps, and support for tech refreshes and legal‑hold processes.
