How modern IT overcame ransomware

The Challenge

In late 2021, Bepex experienced a ransomware attack via email due to a lack of multi-factor authentication. The cyber criminals encrypted their data files, causing Bepex to pay for an encryption key to decrypt everything.

The company experienced several holes in the IT environment and infrastructure. Bepex’s IT infrastructure was stuck in the early 2000s mindset and desperately needed refreshing.

How We Helped

After switching to Thriveon, we implemented several initiatives to bring Bepex’s systems back online and secure their IT environment while cutting costs and drastically moving them forward into the modern era of IT methodology.
