Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800

24x7 Online Help from a Top-tier Ransomware Engineer
Ransomware requires time to work its way through a network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are commonly unleashed on weekends and at night, when support staff may be slower to recognize a penetration and are less able to organize a rapid and coordinated defense. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to make within a target's network, the more time it takes to restore basic operations and damaged files and the more data can be stolen and posted to the dark web.

Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to guide organizations to take the time-critical first phase in responding to a ransomware assault by putting out the fire. Progent's remote ransomware experts can help organizations in the Beverly Hills area to identify and isolate breached servers and endpoints and protect clean assets from being penetrated.

If your system 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 Response Expertise Available in Beverly Hills
Modern strains of ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Egregor encrypt online files and invade any accessible system restores and backups. Data synchronized to the cloud can also be impacted. For a vulnerable environment, this can make system restoration almost impossible and basically throws the datacenter back to the beginning. Threat Actors (TAs), the hackers behind a ransomware assault, demand a ransom payment in exchange for the decryption tools needed to recover scrambled data. Ransomware attacks also attempt to steal (or "exfiltrate") information and TAs require an extra settlement in exchange for not publishing this data or selling it. Even if you can restore your network to an acceptable date in time, exfiltration can be a major issue depending on the sensitivity of the downloaded information.

The recovery process after a ransomware incursion has several distinct stages, the majority of which can proceed concurrently if the recovery team has enough people with the required skill sets.

• Containment: This time-critical initial response requires arresting the lateral spread of ransomware across your IT system. The more time a ransomware assault is allowed to run unrestricted, the more complex and more expensive the recovery effort. Recognizing this, Progent keeps a 24x7 Ransomware Hotline staffed by veteran ransomware response experts. Quarantine activities consist of isolating infected endpoint devices from the rest of network to block the spread, documenting the IT system, and securing entry points.
• System continuity: This involves bringing back the IT system to a basic acceptable degree of capability with the shortest possible delay. This process 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 activity also requires the broadest array of IT abilities that cover domain controllers, DHCP servers, physical and virtual machines, PCs, notebooks and mobile phones, databases, office and mission-critical applications, network topology, and safe endpoint access management. Progent's recovery experts use advanced workgroup tools to coordinate the complex recovery effort. Progent appreciates the urgency of working rapidly, tirelessly, and in concert with a client's managers and IT group to prioritize tasks and to get vital resources on line again as quickly as possible.
• Data restoration: The work required to recover files damaged by a ransomware attack depends on the condition of the systems, the number of files that are affected, and what recovery methods are needed. Ransomware attacks can take down pivotal databases which, if not carefully shut down, might need to be rebuilt from the beginning. This can include DNS and AD databases. Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server rely on Active Directory, and many financial and other mission-critical applications depend on SQL Server. Often some detective work may be required to locate clean data. For instance, non-encrypted OST files (Outlook Email Offline Folder Files) may exist on employees' desktop computers and laptops that were off line at the time of the ransomware attack. Progent's ProSight Data Protection Services offer Altaro VM Backup tools to protect against ransomware by leveraging Immutable Cloud Storage. This creates tamper-proof backup data that cannot be erased or modified by anyone including administrators.
• Implementing modern antivirus/ransomware protection: Progent's ProSight ASM incorporates SentinelOne's behavioral analysis technology to offer small and medium-sized companies the benefits of the identical AV tools used by some of the world's biggest enterprises including Netflix, Citi, and Salesforce. By providing in-line malware filtering, identification, containment, restoration and analysis in a single integrated platform, Progent's ASM cuts total cost of ownership, streamlines management, and expedites resumption of operations. SentinelOne's next-generation endpoint protection engine incorporated in ProSight Active Security Monitoring was ranked by Gartner Group as the industry's "most visionary Endpoint Protection Platform." Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

• Negotiating a settlement with the hacker Progent is experienced in negotiating settlements with hackers. This calls for close co-operation with the victim and the insurance carrier, if any. Activities consist of determining the kind of ransomware used in the assault; identifying and establishing communications the hacker; testing decryption capabilities; budgeting a settlement amount with the victim and the insurance provider; establishing a settlement and timeline with the hacker; checking adherence to anti-money laundering (AML) sanctions; carrying out the crypto-currency payment to the hacker; acquiring, learning, and using the decryptor tool; debugging failed files; creating a clean environment; mapping and reconnecting drives to reflect precisely their pre-attack condition; and reprovisioning computers and services.
• Forensic analysis: This activity involves learning the ransomware attack's progress throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault progressed within the network helps you to evaluate the damage and highlights weaknesses in policies or work habits that should be rectified to prevent future breaches. Forensics involves the review of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to check for anomalies. Forensics is commonly assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance provider. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is vital that other key activities such as operational resumption are pursued in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive team of IT and security professionals with the skills needed to perform activities for containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.
