Case Study: 4sinfosec achieves rapid ransomware recovery in 6 hours with Netwrix Auditor

MSP Helps Client Recover from Ransomware in 6 Hours

4sinfosec, a Florida-based managed service provider, was brought in to help a US insurance company recover after a ransomware attack spread from its parent organization through domain trusts and network integration. The infection encrypted 80% of the customer’s servers and shut down all services, creating an urgent need to assess the damage and restore operations quickly. 4sinfosec used Netwrix Auditor to investigate the incident and understand what had been compromised.

Using Netwrix Auditor, 4sinfosec identified the root cause in just 30 minutes, tracked the ransomware’s activity, and pinpointed the affected accounts, servers, and files. This enabled targeted recovery that minimized downtime instead of restoring everything indiscriminately. The result was a full recovery in 6 hours, plus new trust from the customer, who later hired 4sinfosec full time to manage its ecosystem.
