At 08:17 on a Monday, a finance administrator opened a convincing invoice attachment. By 09:02, shared folders were inaccessible, production paperwork could not be printed and a message demanding cryptocurrency appeared on several screens. This ransomware case study follows a realistic, anonymised UK mid-market business and shows why recovery depends on decisions made well before...

A member of staff is locked out before a client meeting. A laptop needs configuring for a new starter. A critical security update is waiting to be installed.
