Situation :

• As we started to install our protection and monitoring tools, we immediately detected illicit activities on the network.
• Upon investigation, we discovered a crypto miner.
• A cryto miner is code that uses your IT resources to calculate cryptocurrency algorithms.

Solution:

• We then continued the installation on the rest of the environment.

Benefits:

• The client is fully protected and has the peace of mind that the managed security watches over their IT so that it can operate at all times.
• The response time of the servers is much better because the client is utilizing all its machine resources.
