Mobile Ransomware Defense and Removal Services
Ransomware Vulnerability Evaluation
Ransomware has become the weapon of choice for cyber extortionists and malicious governments, representing a potentially lethal threat to companies that are breached. The latest versions of crypto-ransomware target all vulnerable resources, including online backup, making even selective restoration a challenging and expensive exercise. Novel variations of crypto-ransomware such as Ryuk, Maze, Sodinokibi, Netwalker, Phobos, Conti and Egregor have emerged, displacing Locky, Spora, and NotPetya in prominence, elaborateness, and destructive impact.
90% of crypto-ransomware penetrations are caused by innocuous-seeming emails that have malicious links or attachments, and a high percentage are "zero-day" variants that elude detection by legacy signature-matching antivirus (AV) tools. Although user education and frontline detection are critical to defend against ransomware attacks, best practices dictate that you take for granted some attacks will inevitably succeed and that you implement a solid backup mechanism that permits you to restore files and services quickly with little if any losses.
Progent's ProSight Ransomware Vulnerability Report is an ultra-affordable service centered around an online discussion with a Progent security consultant skilled in ransomware defense and repair. During this interview Progent will work with your Mobile network managers to gather critical information concerning your cybersecurity posture and backup processes. Progent will utilize this information to create a Basic Security and Best Practices Report detailing how to apply leading practices for implementing and managing your cybersecurity and backup solution to block or clean up after a crypto-ransomware attack.
Progent's Basic Security and Best Practices Assessment focuses on vital issues related to ransomware defense and restoration recovery. The report addresses:
Cybersecurity
- Effective use of administration accounts
- Assigning NTFS and SMB authorizations
- Optimal firewall configuration
- Safe Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) access
- Guidance for AntiVirus filtering selection and configuration
- Split permission model for backup integrity
- Protecting critical servers including AD
- Geographically dispersed backups including cloud backup to Microsoft Azure
About Ransomware
Ransomware is a variety of malware that encrypts or deletes a victim's files so they cannot be used or are publicized. Crypto-ransomware sometimes locks the victim's computer. To prevent the carnage, the target is asked to send a certain ransom, typically via a crypto currency such as Bitcoin, within a brief time window. It is not guaranteed that paying the extortion price will recover the lost data or avoid its exposure to the public. Files can be encrypted or erased across a network depending on the target's write permissions, and you cannot break the strong encryption technologies used on the compromised files. A typical ransomware delivery package is booby-trapped email, in which the target is lured into responding to by a social engineering technique known as spear phishing. This causes the email to look as though it came from a familiar source. Another common vulnerability is a poorly secured RDP port.
The ransomware variant CryptoLocker opened the modern era of ransomware in 2013, and the monetary losses attributed to by different versions of ransomware is said to be billions of dollars annually, more than doubling every other year. Famous examples include Locky, and NotPetya. Recent high-profile threats like Ryuk, Maze and Spora are more elaborate and have caused more damage than earlier strains. Even if your backup processes enable your business to restore your encrypted files, you can still be hurt by so-called exfiltration, where ransomed data are exposed to the public. Because additional variants of ransomware are launched every day, there is no certainty that conventional signature-matching anti-virus tools will block the latest attack. If an attack does show up in an email, it is important that your end users have learned to identify social engineering techniques. Your last line of protection is a sound scheme for performing and retaining offsite backups plus the use of dependable recovery tools.
