Amid the wave of digital transformation in the manufacturing industry, Group X is deeply engaged in core manufacturing, with a full-chain business covering production R&D, supply chain management, warehousing, and end-market sales. It has achieved automated production and intelligent management through digital systems, making core production data, customer information, and supply chain trade secrets critical assets for its survival and development.
For a long time, Group X held the mindset of “prioritizing hardware over services”. It invested heavily in cybersecurity and disaster recovery equipment from leading vendors, believing that such “hardened protection” would ensure complete security. However, it overlooked the fact that cybersecurity is a systematic project requiring dynamic protection and full-process governance. A sudden ransomware attack completely shattered this years-long sense of security.
In June 2025, Group X’s core production servers and OA office systems suddenly broke down. A large volume of production data, financial statements, and customer records were encrypted and locked, with ransom notes appearing on-screen demanding a large payment for data recovery. The attack halted production lines and disrupted normal business operations, causing substantial economic losses within just a few hours. It also exposed fatal flaws in its cybersecurity defense system: despite deploying high-end security devices, the group lacked professional security services to support them. Improper device configuration, delayed vulnerability detection, low employee security awareness, and inadequate emergency response capabilities rendered the “hardware defenses” ineffective against emerging cyber threats.
This ransomware incident marked a critical turning point in cybersecurity construction for Group X. Its management completely revised its understanding, realizing that “hardware is the foundation, while professional services are the core”, and urgently needed comprehensive, full-scope support from a specialized cybersecurity service provider.
The head of IT at Group X stated:
“Previously, we relied blindly on high-end security devices, thinking that purchasing good equipment was enough. It was not until the ransomware attack that we understood even the most advanced equipment cannot function effectively without professional security services. This incident has been a serious wake-up call.”
After extensive research and evaluation, Group X finally chose to establish in-depth cooperation with our company. We tailored an exclusive cybersecurity service system covering vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, phishing simulation drills, and other core modules, helping the group shift from passive defense to active protection and build a solid cybersecurity barrier.
During the cooperation, the management of Group X spoke highly of our services:
“The team is professional and efficient. They not only accurately identified various hidden risks in our systems but also developed practical solutions tailored to the characteristics of manufacturing. With full-process implementation support, we have truly achieved full-lifecycle cybersecurity governance, giving us greater confidence in the security of our digital transformation.”
