Case Study: Chart Industries achieves ransomware elimination and reclaims 200+ hours per month with Malwarebytes

Chart Industries vaporizes ransomware and malware

Chart Industries, a global manufacturer of cryogenic and gas-handling equipment with about 3,500 employees across 35 sites, was spending hundreds of IT hours each month cleaning ransomware, malware, and nuisanceware on endpoints. Frequent re-imaging (15–20 machines monthly, taking 4–10 hours each) and an ineffective Trend Micro deployment were diverting the security team from strategic projects and complicating endpoint management.

Chart deployed Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection, replacing Trend Micro, and quickly stopped ransomware and malicious inbound traffic — removing three million PUPs in the first six months and detecting previously missed threats on servers and email. The switch eliminated the old AV, freed endpoint storage, blocked malicious IPs at the mail server, and reclaimed at least 200 staff hours per month, letting IT focus on higher‑value security initiatives.
