Case Study: City of Bedford achieves ransomware protection and peace of mind with Malwarebytes

Deploys Malwarebytes as strong line of defense against ransomware

Bedford, Texas—a suburb of Fort Worth serving 48,000 residents and operating critical police, fire and EMS systems from two data centers—faced growing malware and zero‑day threats that sometimes evaded its McAfee antivirus and slowed PCs. Concerned about the risk of ransomware and the time-consuming need to re-image infected machines, the city sought an additional, proactive layer of endpoint protection.

The city deployed Malwarebytes Endpoint Security with the Management Console alongside existing defenses, gaining broader visibility and automatic remediation. Malwarebytes detected and cleaned threats without impacting performance or requiring re-imaging, reducing ransomware risk, saving staff hours, and giving the IT team renewed confidence and “serious peace of mind.”
