Case Study: Midwest Insurance Carrier Company recovers from ransomware and avoids ransom payments with Zerto

Insurance Carrier Recovers from Cryptolocker with Zerto — Performance Uninterrupted

A Midwest workers’ compensation carrier with a 34‑year history and a largely virtualized environment needed constant access to claims data to ensure timely payments. Their previous snapshot‑based DR caused Oracle processes to crash during snapshots, made DR tests slow and unreliable, and left the business exposed to downtime and potential ransom payments.

The carrier deployed Zerto Virtual Replication through trusted partners, gaining real‑time replication with no production impact, seconds‑level RPO/RTOs, and fast, reliable DR testing. Since implementation they’ve recovered from ransomware three times without paying ransom, experienced no Oracle crashes or unsuccessful replications, achieved a 100% DR test success rate, and maintained uninterrupted claims processing across 15 VMs and two sites.
