Case Study: Moreland City Council achieves a ransomware-free zone with Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection

Malwarebytes stops attacks from disrupting city services

Moreland City Council, which serves 12 suburbs north of Melbourne and manages IT across 20 sites, was repeatedly hit by phishing-led malware and ransomware (including Cryptolocker). Infections corrupted desktops and encrypted server files, forcing the IT team to spend days restoring backups, reimaging endpoints and investigating infrastructure—disrupting city services and diverting IT resources.

The council deployed Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection, a cloud-based, non‑intrusive solution that immediately detected and remediated threats the existing antivirus missed. The result: ransomware attacks stopped, IT regained time for strategic projects, endpoint management was simplified with no extra servers, and users experienced no disruption.
