Case Study: Global Restaurant Company avoids million-dollar losses with Mandiant Managed Defense

Global restaurant company avoids million-dollar losses

Global Restaurant Company, a U.S.-based global restaurant corporation with over 30,000 locations, faced a critical ransomware threat on the eve of a high-revenue holiday weekend when newly reported exploits targeted Kaseya VSA. Although the company was standardizing its infrastructure, a few legacy subsidiary servers still ran Kaseya and were exposed. The organization relied on Mandiant—using Mandiant Managed Defense, Mandiant Expertise on Demand, and the Mandiant Incident Response Retainer—as a core part of its security strategy.

Mandiant detected the attack, quarantined at-risk servers, and carried out active containment and remediation without delay, preventing servers from being encrypted. As a result, Mandiant helped Global Restaurant Company avoid potential losses of millions of dollars in revenue, kept restaurant operations running during a peak sales weekend, and removed the need to rapidly source additional in-house security talent.
