Did you know that your data can be compromised?

Hackers have become more sophisticated, and technology has advanced resulting in an increased level of vulnerability to your network. Sunset Technologies is committed to staying ahead of the curve and keeping your data safe. They are also focused on staying compliant with the changes in the laws.

Outlined below is a recent customer case study involving an infection and how Sunset Technologies partnered with the dental office to keep their data safe and get them up and running.

Sunset Case Study

Sunset Technologies was notified, via phone, at approximately 8am that the clinic’s system was infected with a “Win32/TrojanDropper.Small.NMM Trojan” ransomware that Sunset Technologies had never seen or dealt with before. This particular infection not only encrypted files on their server, but also spread to every computer on their network. It was 35 minutes from the time Sunset received the notification call to the time they stepped on site.

The virus infected a total of 16 workstations plus the server, which was the entire clinic. By 9am, a plan was created with a goal to have the office fully functioning by the next morning. The Sunset Technologies team was successful in exceeding their goal due to the following process.

Sunset’s Response:

Resources/Team

• Lead Resource – assigned
• First response team – formed by lead
• Engineering – assigned
• Command Center – assigned
• On-site resource – assigned

Server

• Sunset provided a loaner server to the clinic.
• The Engineering team restored the most recent backup data from the local device to the loaner server.
• As the backup exported to a virtual machine format, the server then started up in its virtual format seamlessly.

The conventional process would typically take more than one day; this process allowed Sunset to get the server up and running within 5 hours.

Workstations

Sunset Technologies re-imaged all of the computers. To expedite the imaging process, Implementations deployed an imaging server with a pre-configured Windows 7 image. This allowed them to reimage all 16 workstations in less than 45 minutes.

Once the server was up, they were able to get the computers joined to the domain and move forward with installing and configuring software. Prior to leaving the site at 5pm, all computers were able to access Dentrix and Dexis. In the evening, they spent several hours configuring the software to get the workstations as close to their original state, prior to the infection, as possible.

Sunset spent the following morning at the Clinic working with the staff to address any questions and make any changes necessary.

The conventional process would have taken two to five hours per computer, be the image server allowed Sunset to cut this time down to 30-35 minutes per computer.
