Case Study: a large healthcare system prevents ransomware encryption with Security On-Demand ThreatWatch

Security On-Demand detected malicious cyber activity on a large healthcare system

Security On-Demand aided a large healthcare system that was facing a potential ransomware breach. The customer's challenge was identifying and stopping a Wanna Cry ransomware infection before it could encrypt files and severely disrupt critical operations.

The solution was implemented through Security On-Demand's ThreatWatch behavioral analytics platform, which detected the malicious activity targeting known ransomware IPs. This early detection allowed the healthcare system to proactively disconnect affected systems, preventing any encryption and enabling a full investigation. The immediate result was that Security On-Demand's intervention successfully stopped the attack, avoiding significant operational damage and data loss.
