Case Study: Addtech Recovers from a Massive Ransomware Attack with TrueSec Incident Response

Addtech restores 80 subsidiaries in 2 months with TrueSec

Addtech, a Swedish publicly-listed technology trading group, faced a massive ransomware attack that halted operations for 80 of its subsidiaries and impacted nearly 1,700 employees. The company urgently needed to restore its systems without paying the ransom and turned to the cybersecurity vendor TrueSec for its Incident Response services.

TrueSec's Cybersecurity Incident Response Team (CSIRT) acted swiftly, setting up a new data center within six hours and beginning the process of rebuilding the IT environment. Through a forensic investigation, TrueSec eliminated the attackers' backdoors and restored all systems without paying the ransom, completing the recovery in roughly two months. As a result, TrueSec became Addtech's strategic security partner, providing continuous monitoring to prevent future breaches.
