Case Study: Advizex saves a stationery and gifts retailer from ransomware with Rolta Advizex Technologies

Advizex saves Advizex from ransomware with Rolta Advizex Technologies and cuts ransom from $150K to $80K

The customer, a high-end stationery and gift retailer, faced a severe ransomware attack that encrypted its data during peak holiday season. Because its backups were stored on the same compromised local network, the company had no way to recover and was at risk of going out of business. After initially rejecting a proposal from vendor Rolta Advizex Technologies to bolster its security, the customer enlisted Advizex for emergency assistance.

Rolta Advizex Technologies implemented a comprehensive solution that included negotiating the ransom down from $150,000 to $80,000, decrypting the data, cleansing latent malware, and modernizing the customer's systems with next-gen protection. The result was the complete recovery of the business's operational data. The total cost for the recovery services and ransom was nearly $230,000, a significant expense that underscored the value of the preventative measures Advizex had originally proposed.
