Case Study: Large International Logistics Company achieves rapid ransomware recovery (80% of servers restored by next business day) with OpenText Data Protector

Micro Focus Data Protector helps an international logistics company recover quickly from a potentially crippling ransomware attack

An international logistics and shipping provider based in Los Angeles, specializing in customs brokerage, international freight forwarding and door-to-door cargo logistics, faced a severe ransomware attack that infected 90% of its servers within 24 hours. The attack knocked out email and critical applications, threatening staff productivity, customer communications and time-sensitive deliveries.

Because the company had long used Micro Focus Data Protector with regular full and incremental backups and VMware-integrated, agent-less restores, its IT team was able to recover quickly: 80% of servers were restored by the next business day and full recovery was achieved the day after. The organization avoided paying a ransom, protected valuable data and customer service continuity, and retained its backup strategy while tightening security policies.
