Client Impact & Resolution:
The president of Nunn Construction was impressed by the speed and efficiency of our response, especially given the incident occurred outside normal business hours. To further ensure security and eliminate any potential threats, our team completely reimaged the compromised machine, guaranteeing no hidden vulnerabilities remained.
