Case Study: a major French retail group strengthens threat detection and stops ransomware with HarfangLab EDR

Major Retail Group - Customer Case Study

The customer, a major French retail group specializing in fashion, faced significant cyber risks including potential ransomware attacks that could halt in-store operations and cause data leaks. Recognizing their existing antivirus was insufficient, their challenge was to strengthen threat detection capabilities, leading them to seek an EDR solution from the vendor HarfangLab.

HarfangLab’s EDR was rapidly deployed across the retail group's workstations, a process accelerated when the BlackCat ransomware attacked during the POC phase. Despite 400 workstations being affected, none were encrypted and no data was stolen due to the solution. HarfangLab provided critical on-site support to help identify and contain the threat within a day. This resulted in full understanding of the attack within 15 days, greatly improving the customer's resilience and establishing a lasting relationship of trust with HarfangLab.
