Cybersecurity Uplift and Ransomware Protection for a Specialist Construction Contractor
Client Challenge
The organisation had been experiencing regular disruptions caused by malware and virus infections across employee workstations. In several cases, ransomware infections had required affected devices to be completely rebuilt, resulting in lost productivity and operational disruption.
These repeated incidents created uncertainty among staff, with employees becoming hesitant to open legitimate business emails due to concerns about malicious attachments and phishing attempts.
The organisation required a stronger cybersecurity capability to reduce the risk of malware, ransomware and phishing attacks while ensuring that staff could continue working productively without disruption.
Cube Cyber Approach
Cube Cyber was engaged to investigate the recurring security incidents and recommend improvements to strengthen the organisation’s cybersecurity posture.
Following an analysis of the organisation’s existing security controls and threat exposure, Cube Cyber designed a managed cybersecurity solution focused on protecting the most common entry points for cyber attacks, including malicious email attachments, phishing attempts and compromised websites.
The solution combined advanced endpoint protection, threat detection capabilities and improved protection against malicious web and email-based threats.
By leveraging a cloud-managed security platform, Cube Cyber was able to deliver enterprise-grade protection without the need for additional on-premise infrastructure.
The solution was implemented through the deployment of lightweight security agents across endpoint devices together with configuration improvements to strengthen security controls across the environment.

Cube Cyber delivered a comprehensive cybersecurity uplift for the organisation, including:
• Deployment of advanced endpoint protection to detect and contain malware and ransomware threats
