Case Study: Leading Logistics Services Provider achieves reduced downtime and averts ransomware attacks with Nagios XI

One-Person IT Team Trusts Nagios XI to Monitor and Secure Their Network

Leading Logistics Services Provider, a North American logistics company supporting 300 employees across 13 work sites and 50 servers, needed a comprehensive infrastructure monitoring tool that a one-person IT team could manage. The IT director selected Nagios XI for its clear reports and graphs, customizable dashboards, integrated database and API, multi-tenancy and configuration wizards to monitor operations across subsidiaries.

Nagios XI was implemented to monitor dozens of hosts and more than 430 services (including folder/FTP checks via the NRPE wizard), provide alerting and actionable graphs, and enable rapid incident response. Nagios alerted the team to suspicious failed logins that revealed a ransomware attempt—limiting infection to one other computer and enabling a recovery in under 30 minutes—while reducing downtime, enabling more proactive work, and delivering a cost-effective alternative to a $5,000/month security service.
