Case Study: Fort Walton Machining achieves increased uptime and ransomware protection with Malwarebytes

Fort Walton Machining tools up against ransomware

Fort Walton Machining, a precision manufacturing and metal finishing company in Fort Walton Beach, FL, faced growing cyberthreats as it expanded from a small plant to an international services provider. A drive-by ransomware attack that encrypted server files highlighted gaps in its existing Microsoft-based protections and threatened costly downtime and customer compliance requirements.

Within a week the company deployed Malwarebytes Endpoint Security across desktops and laptops, which quickly uncovered and removed hidden threats, sends actionable alerts for remediation, and provides an additional security layer to support NIST compliance. As a result, ransomware recurrence was prevented, malware alerts were minimized, and manufacturing uptime was increased, restoring confidence in the company’s operational resilience.
