Case Study: SECO Tools achieves 78% faster restores and 50% TCO savings with Rubrik

Seco Tools Gains Peace of Mind from Ransomware Vulnerability with Rubrik's Immutability

Seco Tools, a Fagersta, Sweden–based maker of metal cutting solutions with over 4,000 employees across 50 countries, faced a time-consuming, costly and hard-to-administer legacy backup system. With a two-person IT team supporting hundreds of servers, the company was vulnerable to ransomware, relied on external consultants for upgrades, and suffered lengthy restores that put manufacturing continuity at risk.

Working with partner ATEA, Seco implemented Rubrik’s Zero Trust Data Protection—including immutable backups and Rubrik Edge—streamlining administration and enabling automation via a robust API. The change delivered 50% TCO savings (eliminating consultant upgrade costs, ~650,000 SEK over five years), 78% faster restores (from 18 days to 4), a 13U data center footprint reduction, and stronger disaster recovery and ransomware protection.
