Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800

24x7 Online Help from a Top-tier Ransomware Consultant
Ransomware needs time to steal its way through a network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are commonly unleashed on weekends and at night, when support staff are likely to take longer to become aware of a penetration and are least able to mount a rapid and forceful defense. The more lateral movement ransomware can achieve within a victim's network, the longer it takes to restore 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 guide you to take the urgent first phase in mitigating a ransomware attack by containing the malware. Progent's remote ransomware experts can assist businesses in the Uberlândia area to locate and quarantine breached servers and endpoints and guard undamaged assets from being compromised.

If your network has been penetrated by any strain of ransomware, don't panic. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.

Progent's Ransomware Response Expertise Offered in Uberlândia
Current variants of crypto-ransomware such as Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Nephilim encrypt online files and infiltrate any accessible system restores. Files synched to the cloud can also be impacted. For a vulnerable network, this can make system restoration nearly impossible and basically sets the IT system back to square one. So-called Threat Actors (TAs), the cybercriminals behind a ransomware attack, demand a ransom payment in exchange for the decryptors required to unlock scrambled data. Ransomware attacks also try to steal (or "exfiltrate") files and hackers demand an extra payment in exchange for not posting this data or selling it. Even if you can rollback your network to an acceptable point in time, exfiltration can be a big problem depending on the sensitivity of the downloaded information.

The restoration process subsequent to ransomware penetration involves a number of crucial phases, most of which can be performed concurrently if the response workgroup has enough members with the necessary skill sets.

• Containment: This urgent first response requires arresting the lateral spread of the attack across your IT system. The more time a ransomware attack is permitted to go unrestricted, the longer and more expensive the restoration effort. Recognizing this, Progent maintains a 24x7 Ransomware Hotline staffed by veteran ransomware recovery experts. Containment processes consist of cutting off affected endpoints from the rest of network to restrict the contagion, documenting the environment, and securing entry points.
• System continuity: This involves bringing back the IT system to a minimal useful degree of capability with the least delay. This process is typically the highest priority for the targets of the ransomware attack, who often see it as a life-or-death issue for their business. This activity also requires the broadest range of technical skills that span domain controllers, DHCP servers, physical and virtual machines, desktops, laptops and smart phones, databases, office and line-of-business apps, network topology, and safe remote access management. Progent's recovery team uses advanced collaboration tools to organize the complex recovery effort. Progent appreciates the importance of working quickly, tirelessly, and in concert with a client's management and network support staff to prioritize activity and to get essential services back online as quickly as possible.
• Data restoration: The effort required to recover data impacted by a ransomware attack varies according to the state of the systems, how many files are encrypted, and what restore methods are needed. Ransomware assaults can destroy critical databases which, if not gracefully shut down, may need to be rebuilt from scratch. This can apply to DNS and Active Directory databases. Exchange and SQL Server rely on AD, and many manufacturing and other business-critical platforms are powered by Microsoft SQL Server. Often some detective work may be needed to find undamaged data. For example, undamaged OST files (Outlook Email Offline Folder Files) may exist on employees' PCs and laptops that were off line at the time of the ransomware attack. Progent's ProSight Data Protection Services utilize Altaro VM Backup technology to protect against ransomware attacks via Immutable Cloud Storage. This produces tamper-proof data that cannot be erased or modified by anyone including root users.
• Deploying advanced AV/ransomware protection: Progent's Active Security Monitoring incorporates SentinelOne's machine learning technology to offer small and medium-sized companies the benefits of the identical AV technology used by many of the world's largest corporations including Netflix, Visa, and Salesforce. By providing real-time malware filtering, identification, containment, repair and analysis in a single integrated platform, Progent's Active Security Monitoring reduces TCO, streamlines management, and promotes rapid operational continuity. SentinelOne's next-generation endpoint protection engine built into in Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring was listed 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 ransom settlements with hackers. This calls for working closely with the ransomware victim and the cyber insurance provider, if there is one. Services include establishing the kind of ransomware involved in the attack; identifying and making contact with the hacker persona; verifying decryption tool; deciding on a settlement with the ransomware victim and the cyber insurance provider; establishing a settlement and schedule with the hacker; confirming adherence to anti-money laundering (AML) sanctions; carrying out the crypto-currency disbursement to the TA; receiving, reviewing, and operating the decryptor utility; debugging failed files; creating a pristine environment; remapping and reconnecting drives to match precisely their pre-encryption condition; and recovering machines and software services.
• Forensic analysis: This activity is aimed at uncovering the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware attack progressed within the network helps you to assess the impact and brings to light gaps in rules or processes that should be corrected to avoid later breaches. Forensics entails the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to look for anomalies. Forensic analysis is usually assigned a top priority by the insurance provider. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other key recovery processes such as business resumption are performed concurrently. Progent has an extensive team of IT and cybersecurity professionals with the skills needed to carry out activities for containment, operational continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.
