Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800

24x7 Remote Access to a Top-tier Ransomware Engineer
Ransomware needs time to work its way across a network. Because of this, ransomware assaults are typically launched on weekends and at night, when support staff may be slower to become aware of a break-in and are least able to organize a quick and forceful response. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to achieve within a victim's network, the more time it will require to recover basic IT services and scrambled files and the more data can be stolen and posted to the dark web.

Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to help you to take the urgent first step in responding to a ransomware attack by stopping the bleeding. Progent's online ransomware experts can assist businesses in the Broomfield area to locate and isolate infected servers and endpoints and protect clean resources from being penetrated.

If your network has been penetrated by any version of ransomware, don't panic. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.

Progent's Ransomware Recovery Services Available in Broomfield
Current variants of ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, Netwalker, and Egregor encrypt online files and attack any available system restores. Files synched to the cloud can also be corrupted. For a vulnerable network, this can make automated recovery almost impossible and effectively sets the IT system back to the beginning. So-called Threat Actors (TAs), the hackers behind a ransomware assault, insist on a settlement fee for the decryptors needed to unlock scrambled files. Ransomware attacks also try to steal (or "exfiltrate") information and hackers require an extra ransom for not publishing this data on the dark web. Even if you are able to restore your system to a tolerable point in time, exfiltration can be a big issue depending on the nature of the downloaded information.

The recovery process subsequent to ransomware attack has several crucial stages, most of which can proceed in parallel if the recovery team has enough people with the required skill sets.

• Containment: This urgent first response requires arresting the sideways progress of the attack across your IT system. The more time a ransomware assault is allowed to go unrestricted, the longer and more expensive the restoration effort. Because of this, Progent maintains a round-the-clock Ransomware Hotline staffed by seasoned ransomware recovery engineers. Quarantine processes include isolating infected endpoint devices from the rest of network to minimize the contagion, documenting the IT system, and securing entry points.
• System continuity: This covers restoring the network to a basic acceptable level of capability with the shortest possible downtime. This process is typically the top priority for the targets of the ransomware assault, who often perceive it to be a life-or-death issue for their company. This project also requires the widest array of IT skills that cover domain controllers, DHCP servers, physical and virtual machines, PCs, laptops and smart phones, databases, office and line-of-business applications, network architecture, and secure endpoint access management. Progent's recovery team uses advanced collaboration platforms to organize the multi-faceted restoration process. Progent understands the urgency of working rapidly, tirelessly, and in concert with a customer's management and IT group to prioritize tasks and to get critical resources on line again as fast as possible.
• Data recovery: The work required to recover files damaged by a ransomware attack depends on the condition of the systems, how many files are encrypted, and what recovery methods are needed. Ransomware attacks can destroy pivotal databases which, if not gracefully shut down, might need to be rebuilt from scratch. This can apply to DNS and Active Directory (AD) databases. Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft SQL Server depend on Active Directory, and many ERP and other mission-critical applications are powered by SQL Server. Some detective work could be needed to locate undamaged data. For instance, non-encrypted Outlook Email Offline Folder Files may have survived on staff desktop computers and notebooks that were off line at the time of the assault. Progent's ProSight Data Protection Services offer Altaro VM Backup tools to protect against ransomware attacks by leveraging Immutable Cloud Storage. This produces tamper-proof data that cannot be modified by any user including root users.
• Implementing advanced AV/ransomware protection: Progent's Active Security Monitoring uses SentinelOne's behavioral analysis technology to give small and mid-sized companies the advantages of the identical anti-virus tools deployed by many of the world's largest enterprises including Walmart, Visa, and NASDAQ. By delivering real-time malware filtering, classification, mitigation, repair and forensics in a single integrated platform, ProSight Active Security Monitoring lowers TCO, streamlines administration, and promotes rapid operational continuity. SentinelOne's next-generation endpoint protection engine incorporated in Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring was listed by Gartner Group as the "most visionary Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP)." Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

• Negotiating a settlement with the hacker Progent has experience negotiating ransom settlements with hackers. This calls for working closely with the ransomware victim and the insurance provider, if there is one. Activities consist of establishing the type of ransomware involved in the attack; identifying and making contact with the hacker persona; testing decryption tool; budgeting a settlement with the ransomware victim and the insurance provider; negotiating a settlement and schedule with the hacker; checking compliance with anti-money laundering sanctions; carrying out the crypto-currency payment to the TA; receiving, learning, and using the decryptor utility; debugging failed files; creating a clean environment; mapping and connecting datastores to match precisely their pre-encryption condition; and restoring physical and virtual devices and software services.
• Forensics: This process involves discovering the ransomware attack's storyline across the network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware attack progressed within the network helps your IT staff to assess the impact and uncovers shortcomings in policies or work habits that need to be corrected to avoid future break-ins. Forensics entails the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to check for variations. Forensic analysis is typically assigned a top priority by the insurance carrier. Since forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is vital that other key recovery processes such as operational resumption are performed concurrently. Progent has a large team of IT and cybersecurity experts with the knowledge and experience required to carry out the work of containment, business continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.
