Santos Ransomware Filtering and Restoration Services

Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800

24x7 Online Access to a Senior Ransomware Engineer
Ransomware requires time to steal its way through a network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are typically unleashed on weekends and late at night, when support personnel may take longer to become aware of a penetration and are less able to organize a quick and coordinated response. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to make inside a victim's system, the more time it will require to recover core IT services and scrambled files and the more data can be stolen and posted to the dark web.

Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to help you to carry out the urgent first step in responding to a ransomware attack by containing the malware. Progent's online ransomware engineers can assist organizations in the Santos area to locate and isolate breached servers and endpoints and guard undamaged assets from being compromised.

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

Current variants of crypto-ransomware such as Ryuk, Sodinokibi, DopplePaymer, and Nephilim encrypt online files and infiltrate any accessible backups. Data synched to the cloud can also be impacted. For a vulnerable network, this can make system restoration nearly impossible and basically sets the datacenter back to the beginning. So-called Threat Actors (TAs), the hackers behind a ransomware attack, demand a ransom fee for the decryptors required to unlock encrypted files. Ransomware attacks also try to exfiltrate files and hackers require an extra settlement for not posting this information or selling it. Even if you are able to rollback your network to a tolerable date in time, exfiltration can pose a major problem depending on the nature of the stolen information.

The restoration work after a ransomware penetration has a number of crucial phases, the majority of which can proceed in parallel if the recovery workgroup has a sufficient number of people with the necessary experience.

• Quarantine: This urgent initial step involves arresting the lateral spread of the attack across your network. The more time a ransomware attack is permitted to go unrestricted, the longer and more expensive the restoration process. Recognizing this, Progent maintains a 24x7 Ransomware Hotline monitored by seasoned ransomware recovery experts. Quarantine activities include isolating infected endpoint devices from the network to restrict the contagion, documenting the environment, and securing entry points.
• System continuity: This covers bringing back the network to a basic acceptable degree of functionality with the shortest possible downtime. This process is typically the top priority for the victims of the ransomware attack, who often perceive it to be a life-or-death issue for their business. This project also demands the broadest range of technical skills that span domain controllers, DHCP servers, physical and virtual machines, desktops, notebooks and mobile phones, databases, office and line-of-business applications, network architecture, and protected endpoint access management. Progent's recovery team uses state-of-the-art collaboration tools to coordinate the multi-faceted restoration process. Progent understands the importance of working quickly, tirelessly, and in concert with a client's management and IT staff to prioritize activity and to get critical resources on line again as quickly as feasible.
• Data recovery: The effort required to restore files damaged by a ransomware attack depends on the state of the systems, how many files are encrypted, and what recovery methods are needed. Ransomware attacks can destroy pivotal databases which, if not carefully shut down, may need to be rebuilt from scratch. This can apply to DNS and AD databases. Exchange and SQL Server rely on Active Directory, and many financial and other business-critical applications depend on SQL Server. Often some detective work could be required to find clean data. For example, undamaged OST files may have survived on staff desktop computers and notebooks that were not connected at the time of the attack. Progent's ProSight Data Protection Services offer Altaro VM Backup technology to protect against ransomware via Immutable Cloud Storage. This produces tamper-proof backup data that cannot be erased or modified by anyone including administrators.
• Setting up modern antivirus/ransomware defense: Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring incorporates SentinelOne's machine learning technology to give small and medium-sized businesses the advantages of the same anti-virus technology implemented by many of the world's largest corporations such as Netflix, Citi, and Salesforce. By providing real-time malware filtering, identification, containment, recovery and forensics in a single integrated platform, Progent's Active Security Monitoring lowers total cost of ownership, simplifies management, and expedites resumption of operations. SentinelOne's next-generation endpoint protection (NGEP) incorporated in Progent's ProSight ASM was listed by Gartner Group as the industry's "most visionary Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP)." Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

• Negotiating a settlement with the hacker Progent is experienced in negotiating ransom settlements with hackers. This requires close co-operation with the ransomware victim and the insurance provider, if there is one. Activities consist of establishing the kind of ransomware used in the assault; identifying and establishing communications the hacker; verifying decryption tool; budgeting a settlement with the ransomware victim and the insurance carrier; establishing a settlement and timeline with the TA; confirming adherence to anti-money laundering sanctions; carrying out the crypto-currency disbursement to the TA; receiving, reviewing, and using the decryption utility; troubleshooting failed files; creating a clean environment; mapping and connecting drives to reflect precisely their pre-encryption condition; and restoring physical and virtual devices and services.
• Forensic analysis: This process involves learning the ransomware assault's storyline across the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack travelled within the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the damage and uncovers shortcomings in rules or work habits that need to be rectified to prevent future break-ins. Forensics entails the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to look for anomalies. Forensic analysis is usually given a high priority by the insurance provider. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other key recovery processes such as business resumption are pursued concurrently. Progent has a large roster of IT and cybersecurity professionals with the skills required to perform the work of containment, business resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.
