Case Studies

A business employing 10 people had one server that took care of their emails and confidential files. Overnight, a coordinated brute force attack was initiated to try and crack their administrator password. If undetected, their server will eventually be compromised.

A business employing 20 people had a server that stored their client's accounting files. One of the hard drives developed a fault and was being marked in the logs as an imminent failure. If left, the hard drive will eventually fail and lose the data.

A business employing 7 people performed a daily backup. However, their network storage device developed a fault, and the backups were not finishing successfully. If left, future restores will not be possible.

THE SOLUTION

All these issues were detected during a routine check.

The hack attempt was detected before the hackers managed to gain access. The firewall settings were changed to block these attempts and the hackers were thwarted.

The log from the drive's SMART was detected. The drive was replaced before it failed, all without any downtime.

The NAS failure was detected during a routine checkup. The NAS was immediately replaced and an unscheduled backup run.
