Case Study: Fusion Computing stops a ransomware attack with Huntress

The Caller Was Calm. The Malware Wasn’t. Inside Fusion Computing’s Response to a Silent Identity-Based Attack

Fusion Computing, a Toronto-based managed IT and security services provider, needed a more effective way to meet compliance goals, improve visibility, and protect clients using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. They chose Huntress, using Managed EDR and Managed ITDR to complement their existing security stack and help them detect identity-based threats and endpoint compromise faster.

With Huntress, Fusion Computing gained 24/7 expert-led SOC support, clear incident visibility, and guided remediation that helped stop attacks before ransomware could detonate. In one case, Huntress detected a silent identity attack within minutes, isolated the compromised device, and prevented downtime and financial losses; Fusion also noted an eight-minute mean time to resolution and found that Huntress uncovered malware artifacts missed by legacy tools.
