Client

A food company with 30 years behind it, hit by ransomware twice.

Hako has worked in the food industry for more than 30 years. The two attacks showed weak points in network security, recovery, IT management and internal communication.

Challenge

Hako needed protection, recovery and control at once.

The network was open and unstructured, the backups could not be trusted, and the regional warehouses had poor links to head office.

Hako also had no practical internal phone system, and its computers needed protection strong enough to stop another attack.

Solution

Protection at every level, from the firewall to the backups.

01
Network & firewall

Techi rebuilt the network with separate zones, device filtering by MAC address and firewall rules that block threats from outside.
02
Servers that keep running

A server cluster keeps systems up if one server fails, and a Domain Controller manages devices, users and rules from one place.
03
Backups & email

Backups now run both locally and in the cloud, and email moved to Google Workspace.
04
Warehouses & monitoring

All 10 warehouses connect over VPN, staff have internal phones, and 24/7 monitoring shows problems as soon as they start.
