Case Study: NA-Based Construction and Design Firm achieves rapid ransomware recovery and secure 7 TB cloud migration with Egnyte

NA-Based Construction and Design Firm Recovers Quickly From Ransomware Attack

A North America–based engineering, design and construction firm was brought to a standstill by a weekend ransomware attack that cut off access to critical project files (drawings, change orders) and halted project delivery. Already under contract with another vendor but facing unclear ransomware protection, the firm asked Egnyte to move 7 TB of data to the cloud, remove infected files, and restore operations quickly.

Egnyte’s Professional Services team signed and deployed a cloud solution in four days, cutting over 7 TB of clean data and provisioning hundreds of seats so users could work without VPN or help tickets. The firm expanded to roughly 750 seats, extended Egnyte to HR/Finance and SharePoint governance, experienced no further incidents, and made Egnyte their permanent content platform thanks to the rapid recovery and ongoing support.
