Case Study: West Computers Prevents a Ransomware Attack with Todyl

West Computers stops ransomware in 5 minutes with Todyl

West Computers, a managed service provider, faced a challenge when one of its small construction clients was targeted by a ransomware attack. The client accidentally executed a malicious file disguised as a Chrome update. Although their existing MDR solution initially responded, Jack West, CEO of West Computers, brought in Todyl's Managed eXtended Detection and Response (MXDR) service for a more thorough investigation to ensure his client's safety.

Todyl’s solution immediately detected a malicious PowerShell script running in the client's environment. Within just five minutes of being engaged, Todyl’s MXDR team guided West through the remediation process, preventing the ransomware from destroying the customer's systems. This fast response by Todyl saved the client an estimated $100,000 to $200,000 and protected the reputation of both the client and West Computers.
