Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800

24x7 Online Access to a Top-tier Ransomware Engineer
Ransomware needs time to steal its way across a network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are typically unleashed on weekends and at night, when support staff may be slower to become aware of a break-in and are less able to organize a quick and coordinated defense. The more lateral progress ransomware can make inside a target's network, the more time it takes to restore core operations and damaged files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web.

Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to assist you to complete the urgent first step in mitigating a ransomware assault by stopping the bleeding. Progent's remote ransomware experts can help organizations in the Ribeirão Preto metro area to identify and quarantine breached servers and endpoints and guard clean resources from being penetrated.

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.

Modern strains of ransomware such as Ryuk, Sodinokibi, DopplePaymer, and Nephilim encrypt online data and invade any available backups. Data synchronized to the cloud can also be corrupted. For a poorly defended environment, this can make automated restoration almost impossible and basically sets the datacenter back to square one. Threat Actors (TAs), the hackers responsible for ransomware attack, insist on a settlement fee in exchange for the decryption tools needed to unlock encrypted files. Ransomware assaults also try to exfiltrate files and hackers demand an extra ransom for not publishing this information or selling it. Even if you are able to restore your system to an acceptable point in time, exfiltration can be a big problem depending on the sensitivity of the stolen data.

The recovery work subsequent to ransomware attack involves a number of crucial phases, the majority of which can be performed in parallel if the recovery workgroup has enough people with the required experience.

• Quarantine: This urgent initial response involves blocking the lateral spread of the attack across your IT system. The more time a ransomware attack is permitted to run unchecked, the more complex and more costly the recovery effort. Because of this, Progent keeps a 24x7 Ransomware Hotline monitored by veteran ransomware response experts. Quarantine processes include isolating infected endpoint devices from the network to restrict the contagion, documenting the IT system, and protecting entry points.
• Operational continuity: This covers restoring the IT system to a minimal useful level of capability with the least downtime. This effort is usually the top priority for the victims of the ransomware attack, who often see it as a life-or-death issue for their business. This activity also requires the broadest array of IT skills that cover domain controllers, DHCP servers, physical and virtual machines, desktops, notebooks and smart phones, databases, productivity and line-of-business applications, network topology, and safe endpoint access management. Progent's recovery experts use state-of-the-art workgroup platforms to coordinate the complicated restoration effort. Progent understands the urgency of working quickly, continuously, and in concert with a customer's managers and network support group to prioritize activity and to put vital resources on line again as fast as possible.
• Data recovery: The effort necessary to restore data damaged by a ransomware attack depends on the state of the systems, how many files are affected, and which restore techniques are required. Ransomware attacks can take down critical databases which, if not gracefully closed, might need to be rebuilt from the beginning. This can include DNS and Active Directory (AD) databases. Exchange and SQL Server rely on AD, and many financial and other mission-critical platforms are powered by SQL Server. Some detective work could be needed to locate clean data. For instance, undamaged OST files may have survived on staff PCs and laptops that were off line during the ransomware assault. Progent's ProSight Data Protection Services utilize Altaro VM Backup technology to protect against ransomware attacks via Immutable Cloud Storage. This creates tamper-proof backup data that cannot be modified by anyone including administrators or root users.
• Implementing modern antivirus/ransomware defense: Progent's ProSight ASM utilizes SentinelOne's behavioral analysis technology to give small and mid-sized companies the benefits of the identical AV tools implemented by many of the world's biggest enterprises such as Walmart, Citi, and Salesforce. By delivering in-line malware blocking, classification, mitigation, restoration and analysis in a single integrated platform, ProSight ASM reduces TCO, streamlines management, and promotes rapid recovery. SentinelOne's next-generation endpoint protection engine incorporated in Progent's ASM was ranked by Gartner Group as the "most visionary Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP)." Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

• Negotiation with the hacker Progent is experienced in negotiating settlements with threat actors. This requires working closely with the victim and the insurance provider, if any. Services consist of establishing the type of ransomware used in the attack; identifying and making contact with the hacker persona; verifying decryption tool; budgeting a settlement with the ransomware victim and the insurance carrier; negotiating a settlement and schedule with the hacker; confirming adherence to anti-money laundering (AML) sanctions; carrying out the crypto-currency payment to the hacker; receiving, reviewing, and operating the decryption utility; troubleshooting decryption problems; building a clean environment; mapping and reconnecting datastores to reflect precisely their pre-encryption state; and reprovisioning physical and virtual devices and services.
• Forensics: This process involves uncovering the ransomware assault's progress throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware assault travelled through the network helps you to evaluate the damage and brings to light weaknesses in rules or processes that need to be rectified to avoid later breaches. Forensics entails the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to check for anomalies. Forensic analysis is typically given a high priority by the insurance carrier. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is critical that other important recovery processes such as operational continuity are executed in parallel. Progent has a large team of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to perform activities for containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.
