Case Study: Cedar Community achieves uninterrupted resident care by preventing ransomware with Malwarebytes

Cedar Community shuts the door on ransomware

Cedar Community, a West Bend, WI–based not‑for‑profit senior care provider serving about 1,600 residents across multiple locations, faced a major ransomware problem after a Cryptolocker attack quickly infected file servers and roughly 30% of endpoints, forcing replacement of dozens of machines and rebuilding servers and threatening continuity of care for residents and staff.

Cedar deployed Malwarebytes Endpoint Security using the Malwarebytes Management Console to push agents, run daily scans, and deliver prioritized email alerts to the IT team. Since deployment the organization has prevented further ransomware infections, blocked malicious websites and network ports, reduced time spent on incident triage, and regained confidence that critical systems remain available to support uninterrupted resident care.
