Case Study: Global Restaurants Chain restores data and strengthens ransomware resilience with Veritas Technologies

Veritas Helps Minimize and Mitigate the Impacts of a Major Ransomware Attack

A global restaurant company operating tens of thousands of locations suffered a sophisticated ransomware attack that wiped its on‑premises backups and forced temporary closures in some markets. Management refused to pay the ransom and engaged Veritas alongside its internal incident response team to recover lost data from cloud copies and investigate the breach.

Together they built a cloud recovery server, rebuilt the entire backup infrastructure (including containerized appliances), and restored available backups while implementing multilayer protections—MFA, WORM, role‑based access, anomaly detection and broader cloud replication. The rapid response minimized downtime and costs compared with the potential impact of paying or losing backups, and an ongoing security roadmap with Veritas is reducing the company’s future ransomware risk.
