Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800

24x7 Online Access to a Senior Ransomware Consultant
Ransomware requires time to work its way through a target network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are commonly launched on weekends and at night, when support personnel are likely to be slower to recognize a breach and are less able to organize a rapid and coordinated response. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to manage inside a victim's network, the more time it takes to recover basic operations and damaged files and the more information can be stolen and posted to the dark web.

Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to help you to complete the urgent first step in mitigating a ransomware attack by putting out the fire. Progent's online ransomware engineers can assist businesses in the Mobile area to identify and isolate infected servers and endpoints and guard undamaged assets from being penetrated.

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

Progent's Ransomware Response Expertise Offered in Mobile
Current variants of ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, Netwalker, and Nephilim encrypt online data and invade any accessible system restores and backups. Data synchronized to the cloud can also be corrupted. For a vulnerable environment, this can make system recovery nearly impossible and effectively throws the IT system back to the beginning. So-called Threat Actors (TAs), the hackers responsible for ransomware assault, insist on a settlement fee in exchange for the decryptors required to recover scrambled data. Ransomware attacks also attempt to exfiltrate information and TAs demand an additional payment for not posting this information on the dark web. Even if you are able to rollback your system to an acceptable date in time, exfiltration can pose a big problem depending on the nature of the stolen information.

The restoration work subsequent to ransomware penetration involves several crucial stages, most of which can proceed concurrently if the response workgroup has a sufficient number of members with the required skill sets.

• Quarantine: This time-critical initial step involves blocking the lateral progress of the attack within your IT system. The more time a ransomware assault is permitted to go unchecked, the longer and more costly the recovery effort. Recognizing this, Progent maintains a 24x7 Ransomware Hotline monitored by seasoned ransomware recovery engineers. Containment processes consist of cutting off infected endpoints from the network to block the spread, documenting the environment, and protecting entry points.
• System continuity: This involves restoring the IT system to a minimal useful degree of capability with the shortest possible downtime. This process is usually the highest priority for the victims of the ransomware assault, who often see it as an existential issue for their company. This project also demands the broadest range of technical abilities that span domain controllers, DHCP servers, physical and virtual servers, PCs, notebooks and mobile phones, databases, productivity and mission-critical applications, network architecture, and safe endpoint access management. Progent's recovery experts use state-of-the-art collaboration tools to organize the multi-faceted restoration effort. Progent appreciates the importance of working quickly, tirelessly, and in unison with a client's management and network support staff to prioritize activity and to get critical services back online as quickly as possible.
• Data recovery: The effort necessary to restore data damaged by a ransomware assault varies according to the condition of the systems, the number of files that are affected, and which recovery methods are required. Ransomware attacks can destroy pivotal databases which, if not properly shut down, might need to be rebuilt from scratch. This can include DNS and Active Directory databases. Exchange and SQL Server depend on AD, and many financial and other business-critical applications are powered by Microsoft SQL Server. Some detective work may be needed to find clean data. For example, undamaged OST files may exist on employees' PCs 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 by leveraging Immutable Cloud Storage. This produces tamper-proof backup data that cannot be modified by anyone including administrators.
• Deploying advanced antivirus/ransomware protection: Progent's Active Security Monitoring uses SentinelOne's machine learning technology to give small and medium-sized companies the advantages of the identical AV tools used by many of the world's biggest corporations such as Netflix, Citi, and Salesforce. By providing real-time malware blocking, identification, mitigation, recovery and analysis in a single integrated platform, Progent's ProSight ASM cuts TCO, simplifies administration, and promotes rapid operational continuity. SentinelOne's next-generation endpoint protection (NGEP) built into in Progent's ASM 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 threat actors. This requires close co-operation with the ransomware victim and the cyber insurance provider, if any. Activities include determining the type of ransomware used in the assault; identifying and establishing communications the hacker persona; testing decryption capabilities; deciding on a settlement with the ransomware victim and the cyber insurance carrier; negotiating a settlement amount and schedule with the hacker; confirming adherence to anti-money laundering sanctions; overseeing the crypto-currency payment to the hacker; receiving, reviewing, and using the decryption tool; debugging failed files; creating a clean environment; remapping and connecting drives to reflect precisely their pre-encryption condition; and reprovisioning physical and virtual devices and services.
• Forensics: This activity is aimed at uncovering the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled through the network assists you to assess the damage and brings to light shortcomings in rules or work habits that should be rectified to prevent later breaches. Forensics entails the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for changes. Forensic analysis is commonly assigned a high priority by the insurance provider. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is critical that other key recovery processes such as operational continuity are executed concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive roster of IT and security experts with the skills needed to perform the work of containment, business continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.
