Porto Alegre Ransomware Defense and Cleanup Consulting

Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800

24x7 Remote Help from a Top-tier Ransomware Consultant
Ransomware requires time to work its way through a network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are commonly launched on weekends and at night, when support staff may take longer to recognize a break-in and are least able to mount a quick and forceful response. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to achieve within a victim's network, the longer it will require to recover basic operations and scrambled files and the more information can be exfiltrated to the dark web.

Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to guide organizations to complete the urgent first phase in mitigating a ransomware assault by containing the malware. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can assist organizations in the Porto Alegre area to locate and quarantine infected devices and protect clean assets from being penetrated.

Current strains of crypto-ransomware like Ryuk, Sodinokibi, Netwalker, and Egregor encrypt online files and attack any available backups. Data synchronized to the cloud can also be impacted. For a vulnerable environment, this can make system recovery almost impossible and effectively knocks the datacenter back to the beginning. Threat Actors (TAs), the cybercriminals responsible for ransomware assault, demand a settlement payment in exchange for the decryption tools needed to recover encrypted data. Ransomware assaults also attempt to exfiltrate information and TAs demand an extra settlement in exchange for not publishing this data on the dark web. Even if you are able to rollback your network to an acceptable date in time, exfiltration can be a major problem according to the sensitivity of the downloaded data.

The recovery work after a ransomware incursion has a number of distinct phases, most of which can proceed concurrently if the recovery team has a sufficient number of people with the necessary experience.

• Containment: This urgent first response involves arresting the lateral progress of ransomware within your IT system. The longer a ransomware assault is permitted to run unrestricted, the more complex and more expensive the recovery effort. Recognizing this, Progent maintains a round-the-clock Ransomware Hotline monitored by seasoned ransomware response experts. Containment activities include isolating infected endpoint devices from the network to restrict the contagion, documenting the IT system, and securing entry points.
• Operational continuity: This involves restoring the network to a basic useful level of capability with the least delay. This effort is usually the top priority for the victims of the ransomware attack, who often perceive it to be an existential issue for their business. This project also requires the widest range of IT skills that cover domain controllers, DHCP servers, physical and virtual servers, desktops, laptops and smart phones, databases, office and mission-critical apps, network topology, and safe remote access. Progent's recovery team uses state-of-the-art collaboration tools to organize the multi-faceted recovery process. Progent understands the urgency of working quickly, tirelessly, and in unison with a client's management and IT staff to prioritize activity and to get essential resources on line again as quickly as possible.
• Data recovery: The work necessary to recover files damaged by a ransomware attack varies according to the condition of the systems, how many files are encrypted, and what recovery methods are required. Ransomware attacks can destroy critical databases which, if not gracefully shut down, may have to be reconstructed from the beginning. This can include DNS and Active Directory (AD) databases. Exchange and SQL Server depend on AD, and many ERP and other mission-critical applications are powered by SQL Server. Some detective work could be required to find clean data. For instance, non-encrypted Outlook Email Offline Folder Files may have survived on employees' PCs and laptops that were not connected during the ransomware assault. Progent's ProSight Data Protection Services offer Altaro VM Backup tools to defend against ransomware by leveraging Immutable Cloud Storage. This creates tamper-proof backup data that cannot be modified by any user including root users.
• Deploying advanced AV/ransomware protection: Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring incorporates SentinelOne's behavioral analysis technology to offer small and mid-sized businesses the benefits of the same AV tools used by some of the world's biggest corporations including Walmart, Visa, and Salesforce. By providing real-time malware filtering, identification, mitigation, repair and forensics in one integrated platform, Progent's Active Security Monitoring lowers TCO, simplifies management, and promotes rapid recovery. SentinelOne's next-generation endpoint protection engine incorporated in Progent's ProSight ASM was ranked by Gartner Group as the industry's "most visionary Endpoint Protection Platform." Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. Read about Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) endpoint protection and ransomware recovery with SentinelOne technology.
• Negotiating a settlement with the hacker Progent is experienced in negotiating settlements with threat actors. This calls for working closely with the victim and the insurance carrier, if there is one. Activities consist of determining the kind of ransomware used in the assault; identifying and making contact with the hacker; testing decryption capabilities; budgeting a settlement amount with the ransomware victim and the cyber insurance provider; negotiating a settlement and timeline with the TA; checking adherence to anti-money laundering (AML) regulations; overseeing the crypto-currency transfer to the TA; receiving, reviewing, and operating the decryption tool; debugging failed files; creating a pristine environment; remapping and connecting datastores to match precisely their pre-attack condition; and reprovisioning physical and virtual devices and software services.
• Forensic analysis: This process is aimed at discovering the ransomware assault's progress across the network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware attack travelled within the network assists your IT staff to assess the impact and uncovers vulnerabilities in rules or work habits that should be rectified to prevent future breaches. Forensics entails the review of all logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to detect variations. Forensics is usually given a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is vital that other important recovery processes like business continuity are pursued in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and experience required to carry out the work of containment, business resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.
