24x7 Online Help from a Top-tier Ransomware Consultant
Ransomware requires time to steal its way across a network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are typically unleashed on weekends and late at night, when IT personnel may be slower to recognize a break-in and are least able to mount a rapid and coordinated response. The more lateral movement ransomware can achieve inside a target's system, the more time it takes to restore basic operations and scrambled files and the more information can be exfiltrated to the dark web.

Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to assist you to complete the urgent first step in mitigating a ransomware assault by stopping the bleeding. Progent's online ransomware experts can assist organizations in the Eugene area to identify and quarantine infected servers and endpoints and protect clean assets from being compromised.

If your system has been penetrated by any version of ransomware, act fast. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.

Modern variants of crypto-ransomware such as Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Egregor encrypt online files and infiltrate any accessible backups. Files synchronized to the cloud can also be corrupted. For a vulnerable network, this can make system restoration almost impossible and basically throws the datacenter back to square one. Threat Actors (TAs), the cybercriminals behind a ransomware attack, insist on a ransom fee for the decryption tools required to unlock encrypted data. Ransomware attacks also try to steal (or "exfiltrate") information and TAs require an additional ransom in exchange for not posting this data on the dark web. Even if you are able to restore your network to an acceptable point in time, exfiltration can be a major issue according to the nature of the downloaded data.

The recovery work after a ransomware penetration involves several crucial stages, the majority of which can proceed in parallel if the response workgroup has a sufficient number of members with the necessary experience.

• Containment: This urgent first response involves arresting the sideways spread of ransomware across your network. The more time a ransomware attack is permitted to go unrestricted, the longer and more expensive the recovery effort. Recognizing this, Progent maintains a round-the-clock Ransomware Hotline staffed by seasoned ransomware recovery engineers. Quarantine processes consist of cutting off affected endpoints from the rest of network to minimize the contagion, documenting the environment, and securing entry points.
• System continuity: This covers restoring the network to a basic acceptable degree of functionality with the least delay. This effort is usually the highest priority for the targets of the ransomware assault, who often perceive it to be a life-or-death issue for their business. This project also requires the broadest range of technical skills that span domain controllers, DHCP servers, physical and virtual servers, desktops, laptops and mobile phones, databases, productivity and mission-critical applications, network architecture, and protected endpoint access management. Progent's recovery experts use state-of-the-art collaboration tools to organize the complex restoration process. Progent understands the urgency of working quickly, tirelessly, and in unison with a customer's managers and IT staff to prioritize tasks and to get vital services on line again as quickly as possible.
• Data recovery: The work required to restore files impacted by a ransomware assault depends on the condition of the systems, the number of files that are encrypted, and what recovery techniques are needed. Ransomware attacks can take down pivotal databases which, if not carefully shut down, may have to be rebuilt from scratch. This can apply to DNS and AD databases. Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server depend on AD, and many manufacturing and other mission-critical applications are powered by SQL Server. Often some detective work may be needed to locate clean data. For instance, undamaged Outlook Email Offline Folder Files may have survived on staff PCs and notebooks that were off line during the ransomware assault. Progent's ProSight Data Protection Services offer Altaro VM Backup tools to defend against ransomware attacks by leveraging Immutable Cloud Storage. This produces tamper-proof backup data that cannot be erased or modified by anyone including administrators or root users.
• Implementing advanced antivirus/ransomware defense: Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring utilizes SentinelOne's behavioral analysis technology to give small and medium-sized businesses the advantages of the same anti-virus tools used by many of the world's biggest enterprises such as Netflix, Visa, and Salesforce. By providing in-line malware filtering, detection, mitigation, repair and analysis in a single integrated platform, ProSight Active Security Monitoring lowers total cost of ownership, streamlines administration, and promotes rapid operational continuity. SentinelOne's next-generation endpoint protection (NGEP) incorporated in Progent's ProSight ASM was listed by Gartner Group as the "most visionary Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP)." Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

• Negotiation with the threat actor (TA): Progent is experienced in negotiating settlements with hackers. This requires working closely with the victim and the cyber insurance provider, if there is one. Activities consist of establishing the kind of ransomware used in the assault; identifying and establishing communications the hacker persona; testing decryption tool; deciding on a settlement with the victim and the cyber insurance provider; establishing a settlement and timeline with the hacker; checking adherence to anti-money laundering (AML) sanctions; carrying out the crypto-currency transfer to the TA; receiving, reviewing, and using the decryption utility; debugging decryption problems; building a pristine environment; remapping and connecting drives to reflect exactly their pre-attack condition; and restoring computers and software services.
• Forensics: This process involves discovering the ransomware attack's progress across the network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware attack travelled through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the damage and highlights weaknesses in security policies or work habits that should be corrected to avoid future breaches. Forensics involves the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to look for changes. Forensics is commonly assigned a top priority by the insurance provider. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is essential that other key activities like operational resumption are performed in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive roster of information technology and data security experts with the skills needed to carry out activities for containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.
