Business Challenge
The Superior Court was hit by a ransomware attack that encrypted its primary systems, halting operations and putting sensitive data at risk. The court needed a fast, reliable recovery protocol to minimize disruption to judicial proceedings and to safeguard the private information of court staff and the general public.
Solution Implemented
When searching for a reputable and trusted managed IT solutions provider, the court partnered with IMPEX Technologies to safeguard its data and ensure critical operations went uninterrupted. Recommending the most robust solution in its digital toolbox, IMPEX implemented Rubrik with Cloud Vault.
This powerful solution is not only air-gapped from the internet and dark web, it also provides so-called “3-2-1 data protection,” whereby it makes no less than three copies of the data, stores them on two different types of media, and keeps one master copy off-site. Rubrix Cloud Vault represents the Fort Knox of data protection, offering immutable backups that can be restored at any time, without loss or degradation.
Results Achieved
- Fast Recovery: The Superior Court restored 100% of critical systems within hours, ensuring the continuity of court proceedings.
