Case Study: Mavis Tire stops ransomware attacks with SonicWall network security

Mavis Tire Puts the Brakes on Ransomware Attacks

Mavis Tire, a retail chain with over 400 stores across the Northeast U.S., needed to protect its distributed network from rising encrypted and emerging malware threats. To secure traffic into its data center and inspect encrypted communications, Mavis Tire deployed SonicWall solutions—SonicWall TZ firewalls at each location, SonicWall NSA firewalls in high-availability at the core, plus SonicWall Gateway Security and Capture Advanced Threat Protection.

By using SonicWall’s multi-engine Capture Advanced Threat Protection together with Gateway Security and the TZ/NSA firewall stack, Mavis Tire blocks ransomware and unknown threats before they enter the network; CIO Ed Schwartz reports that “SonicWall’s Capture technology…stops ransomware from hitting our network.” The SonicWall deployment delivered measurable protection across the distributed footprint, improved security effectiveness, and maintained ease of use for ongoing operations.
