Case Study: Payette achieves rapid ransomware recovery and zero data loss with Rubrik Security Cloud

Payette Fends off Cyber Breach with Rubrik Security Cloud

Payette, an award‑winning architecture firm responsible for large, multi‑year building and healthcare projects, was hit by a late‑night cyberattack after an admin account was compromised. The breach disrupted PC LAN and network services and threatened 50+ TB of Dell EMC Isilon data, including CAD models, project files, finance and payroll systems — putting years of work and the firm’s reputation at risk.

With Rubrik Security Cloud in place, Payette leveraged segmented backups, rapid restore and Ransomware Investigation to recover quickly: critical systems were back online in under 24 hours, the attacker never delivered a ransom, and Payette achieved 100% recovery within a week with zero data loss. The firm also expanded protection to M365 and Azure, gaining continuous monitoring, immutability and improved cyber resilience.
