About Jules B

Jules B is a multi-award-winning independent fashion retailer offering designer clothing, shoes, and accessories. Established in 1984, the business has become a leading name in luxury retail, known for its curated collections and exceptional customer service

Objective

Jules B faced a significant cybersecurity breach that threatened their operations and reputation. In September 2023, criminal hackers launched a ransomware attack, demanding $100,000.

The attackers gained access to the company's servers, causing major disruptions, wiping out two weeks' worth of turnover, and necessitating a substantial investment to rectify the damage. Despite the severe impact, customer data was not compromised. However, the firm's insurers disputed the claim for the damage, exacerbating financial strains.

This incident underscored the urgent need for robust cybersecurity measures to protect their digital infrastructure and ensure business continuity

Solution

Jules B partnered with GoDefend to implement a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. By adopting the GoDefend platform, the company introduced continuous protection through automated penetration testing and real-time vulnerability scanning- identifying and addressing security weaknesses as they emerge. Additional features, including anti-ransomware tools, advanced antivirus and anti-malware protection, and URL and web filtering, further strengthened Jules B’s defences, creating a more robust and resilient digital environment.
