As reports of ransomware in their industry soared, manufacturing company KeyTec Netherlands decided to take action. Find out how we helped them proactively bolster their defences and create a cyber-savvy work culture.
KeyTec is a privately-owned, global manufacturing company employing around 1,000 people worldwide. They appointed Eye Security to independently test their systems, then supercharged their approach with Eye’s Crowdstrike-powered continuous monitoring solution.
Founded in 1999 by a divestment from Philips Electronics, KeyTec has branches in the Netherlands, China and the Czech Republic. Their Dutch activities include manufacturing high precision metal parts and plastic components from small to mass-volume quantities.
After observing other businesses fall prey to costly, high-profile ransomware attacks, Rik Jaeken, the engineer responsible for IT at the Dutch branch, decided to take proactive measures. A webinar with Aon brought Eye Security to his attention.
While other providers also offered security tests and employee training, “continuous monitoring of our systems with CrowdStrike’s software was really the main reason we chose Eye.” Eye Security worked with their IT provider for a smooth software installation.
Their commitment to 24h monitoring has already paid off, as Eye Security has blocked a USB stick containing a virus, and a deliberate installation of an ERP package. They continue to conduct regular phishing awareness training, creating an ongoing culture of cyber resilience and enhanced reputation with KeyTec’s customers.
Greater security at every step.
Eye Security helped KeyTec develop robust cybersecurity, with continuous monitoring via Crowdstrike, and ongoing cyber awareness training.
