How Kairo shut down a live ransomware attack and protected over $6M in revenue

A leading US vehicle intelligence platform was hit by a live ransomware attack. Kairo was brought in mid-attack, shut the entire attack down, and found critical, exposed vulnerabilities before attackers could use them. When the attackers came back, they could not get in.

Successful breaches when attackers came back

The company is a leading vehicle intelligence platform in the US, a Series B business whose clients trust it with sensitive data. It was hit by a live ransomware attack, and a ransom was demanded.

The incident

Kairo was brought in mid-attack. The job was to stop an attack that was still running, establish what the attacker could reach, and keep client data from leaving. Kairo shut the entire attack down.

What Kairo found

Critical, exposed vulnerabilities in the company’s systems, found before attackers could use them, and closed as part of the response.

The outcome

4.2 TB

Sensitive client data kept from leaking

And over $6M in revenue protected, by the company’s own figure.

After Kairo

Attackers tried to break in again. They could not get in at all.

Kairo now tests every change to those systems continuously, so a new exposure is caught as it ships rather than found by the next attacker.
