Case Study: a Fortune 1000 manufacturer achieves air-gapped, immutable ransomware protection for 380 TB with StoneFly DR365V

Fortune 1000 Manufacturer secures 380 TB with StoneFly

A US-based Fortune 1000 manufacturer faced a significant ransomware gap in its data protection strategy. Its Veeam backups were stored on a NAS target connected to the production network, and its separate threat detection tool had no integration with its backup infrastructure, leaving 380 TB of data vulnerable to being encrypted during an attack. The siloed systems also resulted in three separate management consoles with no unified view.

The manufacturer implemented the StoneFly DR365V, a Veeam Ready appliance with integrated air-gapped vault and threat detection. This solution replaced the NAS and the EDR's backup monitoring scope, consolidating management into a single console. StoneFly's solution provided immutable, air-gapped copies of all 380 TB of data and moved threat detection to the storage layer to scan backups before they are committed. Post-deployment testing validated a successful ransomware recovery that met the company's recovery time objective.
