Case Study: REI Fortifies Active Directory Against Ransomware with Mimic

How REI Fortified Its Active Directory Estate Against Ransomware with Mimic

REI, a leading outdoor retailer, faced the critical challenge of protecting its large Active Directory estate from the rapidly increasing threat of ransomware. Their existing security tools were not fast or specialized enough to detect and deflect these attacks. They turned to the vendor Mimic and its specialized ransomware deflection technology to secure this essential infrastructure.

Mimic implemented its solution to rapidly defend REI's environment, utilizing auto-learning nodes to build a tailored shield. The results were immediate, with Mimic providing vital alerts to unauthorized changes that had previously gone unseen. The solution also offered a unique cost model where REI only pays for protection when it actively deflects an attack, allowing them to secure all critical applications without a large upfront budget expense.
