Case Study: Wunderlich Securities achieves ransomware protection and faster threat response with Malwarebytes

Wunderlich invests in ransomware protection

Wunderlich, a full-service investment firm in Memphis serving clients through 450 employees in 26 offices across 17 states, faced growing ransomware and phishing threats that their existing Symantec antivirus and email appliances were missing. The security team was overwhelmed by false alerts and lacked visibility into real endpoint threats, creating risk to company and customer data and raising compliance concerns with FINRA.

Wunderlich deployed Malwarebytes Endpoint Security (initially on 100 machines), which immediately identified and removed about 20,000 malware instances and reduced lingering infections to roughly 50. Malwarebytes stopped a ransomware attack before it infected 12 machines, delivered more accurate threat visibility, cut incident-triage time by about eight hours per week, and improved FINRA-alignment.
