In 2019, the CFO of Allied Autos approached Executech with a problem: several of his employees’ computers had been hit by ransomware. One of the employees had accidentally clicked on a malicious pop-up, which allowed hackers to access their servers and implement ransomware. As a result, the company’s employees could not access important files without having to pay a ransom fee. Allied Autos’ internal IT team had not been able to detect or prevent the hack, and to make matters worse, they had not been conducting regular data backups.Having heard of Executech’s strong reputation for enterprise-quality IT services, the CFO at Allied Autos quickly called them to conduct a risk assessment.Executech immediately sent in a team of five technicians to remediate and repair the company’s IT system. Over the next 24 hours, Executech’s technicians installed a state-of-the-art firewall and licenses on 320 devices across the client’s 14 locations. Executech’s team also found the computer that was originally responsible for spreading the ransomware – a device that had been previously overlooked by the internal IT team. Within two business days, Executech’s team had completed a total overhaul and upgrade of Allied Autos’ cybersecurity defenses, allowing the Company to return to business as usual with an increased layer of protection and data backups.
