The Challenge
The Baker McMillen Company faced a severe ransomware attack that encrypted their servers and halted operations. The hackers demanded an $80,000 Bitcoin payment to restore access. With a small IT department lacking extensive cybersecurity expertise, the company needed a robust solution to quickly resume operations and protect against future threats.
About The Customer
The Baker McMillen Company, a manufacturer of fine wood turnings, has been in operation since 1874. They supply major national retailers with precision wood products such as tool handles, architectural millwork, and furniture components. Despite their long history and expertise in wood manufacturing, the company faced a modern challenge in the form of a cybersecurity threat. With a small IT department, they were ill-equipped to handle the sophisticated ransomware attack that disrupted their operations.
The Solution
The IT Manager at Baker McMillen turned to Binary Defense for help. They implemented the Binary Defense Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solution, which required no additional costly hardware or resource-intensive software. The nano agents were installed on all desktops, laptops, and servers the same day. This new layer of security allowed the company to resume operations in under 24 hours. The Binary Defense Security Operations Center (SOC) provided around-the-clock monitoring, detecting and responding to threats in real-time. The SOC team actively monitored the network, stopping malicious attacks before they could cause significant damage. The Binary Defense SOC team also identified and neutralized a hidden threat left by the hackers, preventing a secondary attack that could have further disrupted operations.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.
