Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800

24x7 Online Help from a Top-tier Ransomware Consultant
Ransomware requires time to steal its way through a target network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are typically launched on weekends and late at night, when support staff are likely to take longer to become aware of a breach and are less able to organize a rapid and coordinated defense. The more lateral movement ransomware can achieve within a victim's system, the more time it takes to restore basic operations and scrambled files and the more information can be stolen and posted to the dark web.

Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to guide you to take the time-critical first phase in mitigating a ransomware attack by stopping the bleeding. Progent's remote ransomware experts can assist organizations in the Jundiaí area to locate and quarantine infected servers and endpoints and guard clean assets from being compromised.

If your network has been breached 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 Expertise Available in Jundiaí
Modern variants of crypto-ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, Netwalker, and Nephilim encrypt online files and attack any available system restores and backups. Data synched to the cloud can also be corrupted. For a poorly defended network, this can make automated recovery almost impossible and effectively knocks the IT system back to the beginning. Threat Actors (TAs), the hackers behind a ransomware attack, insist on a ransom fee for the decryptors required to unlock encrypted data. Ransomware assaults also try to exfiltrate files and hackers demand an additional settlement for not posting this information on the dark web. Even if you can rollback your network to a tolerable point in time, exfiltration can pose a major issue depending on the sensitivity of the downloaded information.

The restoration work subsequent to ransomware penetration involves several distinct phases, the majority of which can be performed in parallel if the response team has enough members with the necessary experience.

• Quarantine: This time-critical initial response involves arresting the lateral spread of ransomware across your IT system. The longer a ransomware assault is allowed to run unchecked, the more complex and more expensive the restoration effort. Recognizing this, Progent keeps a 24x7 Ransomware Hotline monitored by seasoned ransomware response experts. Quarantine processes include isolating infected endpoint devices from the network to block the spread, documenting the IT system, and securing entry points.
• Operational continuity: This involves bringing back the IT system to a basic acceptable degree of capability with the shortest possible downtime. This process is typically the top priority for the targets of the ransomware assault, who often perceive it to be an existential issue for their business. This activity also requires the broadest array of technical abilities that span domain controllers, DHCP servers, physical and virtual servers, PCs, notebooks and smart phones, databases, productivity and mission-critical apps, network topology, and safe remote access management. Progent's recovery experts use state-of-the-art collaboration tools to coordinate the multi-faceted restoration process. Progent appreciates the urgency of working rapidly, tirelessly, and in concert with a client's managers and network support group to prioritize activity and to get essential services back online as fast as feasible.
• Data restoration: The effort required to recover files damaged by a ransomware attack depends on the state of the systems, the number of files that are encrypted, and which restore techniques are required. Ransomware attacks can destroy critical databases which, if not gracefully closed, may have to be rebuilt from the beginning. This can apply to DNS and AD databases. Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server rely on AD, and many financial and other business-critical platforms are powered by SQL Server. Some detective work could be needed to find undamaged data. For instance, undamaged OST files (Outlook Email Offline Folder Files) may have survived on staff PCs and laptops that were off line at the time of the ransomware assault. Progent's ProSight Data Protection Services utilize Altaro VM Backup technology to protect against ransomware attacks by leveraging Immutable Cloud Storage. This produces tamper-proof backup data that cannot be modified by anyone including root users.
• Implementing modern antivirus/ransomware defense: Progent's ProSight ASM utilizes SentinelOne's behavioral analysis technology to offer small and medium-sized companies the advantages of the same AV technology used by some of the world's biggest corporations such as Walmart, Citi, and Salesforce. By delivering real-time malware blocking, classification, mitigation, restoration and forensics in one integrated platform, Progent's ASM reduces TCO, streamlines administration, and promotes rapid operational continuity. SentinelOne's next-generation endpoint protection (NGEP) built into in ProSight ASM was listed by Gartner Group as the "most visionary Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP)." Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

• Negotiation with the threat actor (TA): Progent is experienced in negotiating ransom settlements with hackers. This requires close co-operation with the victim and the cyber insurance carrier, if any. Services consist of establishing the kind of ransomware used in the attack; identifying and making contact with the hacker persona; testing decryption capabilities; deciding on a settlement amount with the victim and the cyber insurance carrier; establishing a settlement amount and timeline with the hacker; checking compliance with anti-money laundering regulations; carrying out the crypto-currency transfer to the TA; acquiring, learning, and using the decryptor utility; debugging failed files; building a clean environment; mapping and reconnecting drives to reflect exactly their pre-attack state; and recovering computers and software services.
• Forensics: This activity involves uncovering the ransomware assault's progress throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware attack travelled through the network assists your IT staff to assess the damage and highlights shortcomings in rules or processes that should be corrected to avoid later breaches. Forensics entails the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to check for variations. Forensic analysis is commonly given a high priority by the insurance provider. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is critical that other important recovery processes such as business continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent has a large team of IT and security experts with the skills required to carry out the work of containment, business continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.
