Barueri-Alphaville Ransomware Filtering and Cleanup Solutions

Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800

24x7 Remote Access to a Senior Ransomware Engineer
Ransomware requires time to steal its way through a network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are commonly launched on weekends and late at night, when support personnel may be slower to recognize a break-in and are least able to organize a rapid and forceful response. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to achieve inside a victim'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 designed to guide organizations to take the urgent first step in mitigating a ransomware assault by containing the malware. Progent's online ransomware engineers can assist businesses in the Barueri-Alphaville metro area to identify and quarantine breached servers and endpoints and protect clean assets from being compromised.

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

Progent's Ransomware Recovery Services Offered in Barueri-Alphaville
Current variants of ransomware such as Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Egregor encrypt online data and infiltrate any available system restores. Files synched to the cloud can also be impacted. For a vulnerable environment, this can make system restoration nearly impossible and effectively sets the IT system back to the beginning. So-called Threat Actors (TAs), the hackers responsible for ransomware assault, insist on a ransom fee in exchange for the decryptors needed to recover scrambled data. Ransomware attacks also try to exfiltrate information and hackers demand an extra payment in exchange for not publishing this information on the dark web. Even if you are able to rollback your network to an acceptable point in time, exfiltration can be a big problem depending on the nature of the downloaded data.

The recovery process subsequent to ransomware breach has several crucial phases, most of which can be performed concurrently if the recovery workgroup has enough members with the required experience.

• Quarantine: This urgent first response requires arresting the sideways progress of ransomware within your IT system. The more time a ransomware assault is allowed to run unrestricted, the more complex and more costly the restoration effort. Recognizing this, Progent keeps a round-the-clock Ransomware Hotline monitored by seasoned ransomware recovery experts. Quarantine activities include cutting off infected endpoint devices from the network to block the contagion, documenting the IT system, and protecting entry points.
• System continuity: This covers bringing back the IT system to a minimal acceptable degree of functionality with the shortest possible downtime. This effort is typically the top priority for the targets of the ransomware attack, who often perceive it to be a life-or-death issue for their business. This activity also demands the broadest array of technical abilities that span domain controllers, DHCP servers, physical and virtual servers, desktops, laptops and smart phones, databases, office and line-of-business apps, network architecture, and safe endpoint access management. Progent's recovery experts use state-of-the-art workgroup platforms to organize the complicated recovery process. Progent understands the importance of working rapidly, tirelessly, and in unison with a client's management and IT staff to prioritize activity and to put essential resources on line again as quickly as possible.
• Data recovery: The work required to recover files impacted by a ransomware attack depends on the condition of the network, how many files are affected, and what restore techniques are needed. Ransomware assaults can destroy critical databases which, if not gracefully shut down, might need to be rebuilt from the beginning. This can apply to DNS and Active Directory databases. Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft SQL Server depend on AD, and many financial and other business-critical applications depend on Microsoft SQL Server. Some detective work may be required to locate undamaged data. For example, non-encrypted OST files may exist on employees' PCs and notebooks that were off line at the time of the attack. Progent's ProSight Data Protection Services utilize Altaro VM Backup technology to defend against ransomware attacks by leveraging Immutable Cloud Storage. This creates tamper-proof backup data that cannot be erased or modified by anyone including administrators or root users.
• Implementing modern AV/ransomware protection: Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring utilizes SentinelOne's machine learning technology to offer small and mid-sized businesses the advantages of the same anti-virus technology used by many of the world's biggest corporations such as Walmart, Visa, and NASDAQ. By delivering real-time malware blocking, identification, containment, repair and forensics in a single integrated platform, ProSight Active Security Monitoring reduces TCO, simplifies administration, and promotes rapid resumption of operations. SentinelOne's next-generation endpoint protection engine incorporated in Progent's Active Security Monitoring was listed by Gartner Group as the industry's "most visionary Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP)." Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

• Negotiating a settlement with the threat actor (TA): Progent has experience negotiating ransom settlements with threat actors. This requires close co-operation with the victim and the cyber insurance carrier, if there is one. Activities include 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 victim and the cyber insurance provider; negotiating a settlement and schedule with the hacker; checking adherence to anti-money laundering (AML) sanctions; carrying out the crypto-currency disbursement to the hacker; acquiring, reviewing, and operating the decryptor utility; troubleshooting failed files; creating a clean environment; mapping and reconnecting datastores to reflect precisely their pre-attack condition; and restoring machines and software services.
• Forensics: This activity is aimed at uncovering the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware attack travelled through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the damage and brings to light vulnerabilities in security policies or work habits that need to be corrected to avoid future break-ins. Forensics entails the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to detect anomalies. Forensics is commonly given a top priority by the cyber insurance provider. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other key recovery processes like business continuity are executed concurrently. Progent maintains a large team of IT and data security professionals with the skills required to carry out the work of containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.
