Case Study: International Shipping Company prevents malware and ransomware attacks with IBM Security QRadar EDR

An international shipping company deploys automated endpoint security on ships with limited satellite connectivity

International Shipping Company operates a fleet of more than 200 ships that are often offline or limited to costly, intermittent satellite connectivity. After repeated malware and ransomware incidents, the company needed a way to detect and stop threats quickly, even at sea, using IBM Security QRadar EDR.

IBM implemented IBM Security QRadar EDR across all ship endpoints and set up centralized monitoring at the main base with low-bandwidth data transfer and automated detection and remediation. Over three months, IBM helped prevent 24 ransomware attacks, identify and remove dozens of other threats, and avoid data loss without disrupting ship operations.
