Case study
Countering ransomware attacks with automated threat detection and containment
Company:
The Ministry of Digital Governance of the Hellenic Republic provides Greek citizens and businesses with fast, reliable, and secure online government services, promotes digital skills, and integrates advanced technologies in the public sector. The Ministry leads the execution of the national digital transformation strategy, building a modern, efficient digital government that supports economic growth and data security across Greece.
Challenge:
Cyberattacks are becoming more frequent and sophisticated, and ransomware incidents are a particular concern for public-sector organisations. An undetected ransomware breach could lead to catastrophic loss of sensitive data and prolonged downtime for online government services, and erode public trust. To mitigate risk, the Ministry looked to add an extra layer of protection, with real-time automated detection and containment of ransomware threats across its critical cloud and on-premises storage environment.
Solution & Benefits:
To increase its resilience, the Ministry decided to work with Ricoh partner Doxiadis Graphotechniki S.A. to deploy RICOH RansomCare powered by BullWall. Today, the solution monitors the Ministry’s critical storage landscape for suspicious activity round the clock, and will immediately isolate an endpoint or user when malicious encryption is detected, preventing the threat from spreading. With RansomCare, the Ministry has strengthened its cybersecurity posture, and reduced manual workloads for the IT and security team.
“We would recommend RansomCare to any organisation seeking to strengthen its ransomware defences. The solution forms an indispensable part of our defence strategy, providing a critical layer of protection that complements our existing security investments and delivers immediate, tangible benefits.”
Mr. Aristeidis Meletiou,
Director General, Ministry of Digital Governance of the Hellenic Republic
