Bakersfield Ransomware Filtering and Repair Consulting

Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800

24x7 Remote Access to a Top-tier Ransomware Consultant
Ransomware requires time to steal its way across a network. Because of this, ransomware assaults are commonly unleashed on weekends and at night, when IT staff may take longer to become aware of a penetration and are least able to organize a rapid and coordinated response. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to make inside a target's system, the longer it takes to recover basic IT services 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 complete the urgent first step in mitigating a ransomware assault by stopping the bleeding. Progent's online ransomware engineers can help businesses in the Bakersfield area to locate and quarantine breached devices and protect undamaged resources from being penetrated.

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

Progent's Ransomware Recovery Services Offered in Bakersfield
Modern variants of crypto-ransomware like Ryuk, Sodinokibi, DopplePaymer, and Egregor encrypt online files and infiltrate any available backups. Data synchronized to the cloud can also be corrupted. For a poorly defended network, this can make automated restoration nearly impossible and basically throws the IT system back to square one. Threat Actors (TAs), the cybercriminals behind a ransomware attack, insist on a settlement payment for the decryptors needed to recover encrypted data. Ransomware assaults also try to steal (or "exfiltrate") information and TAs require an additional ransom for not posting this information on the dark web. Even if you are able to restore your network to a tolerable date in time, exfiltration can be a major issue according to the nature of the stolen information.

The restoration process subsequent to ransomware breach has several crucial stages, the majority of which can be performed in parallel if the response workgroup has a sufficient number of people with the required experience.

• Containment: This urgent initial response requires arresting the sideways progress of the attack within your network. The longer a ransomware assault is permitted to run unrestricted, the longer and more expensive the restoration process. Recognizing this, Progent keeps a 24x7 Ransomware Hotline staffed by veteran ransomware recovery engineers. Containment activities consist of isolating affected endpoint devices from the rest of network to block the spread, documenting the IT system, and protecting entry points.
• Operational continuity: This covers bringing back the IT system to a minimal acceptable level of functionality with the shortest possible delay. This process is usually the top priority for the targets of the ransomware attack, who often see it as a life-or-death issue for their company. This activity also demands the widest range of technical skills that cover domain controllers, DHCP servers, physical and virtual machines, desktops, laptops and smart phones, databases, productivity and mission-critical applications, network architecture, and protected remote access. Progent's recovery experts use advanced collaboration tools to coordinate the complicated restoration effort. Progent understands the urgency of working rapidly, continuously, and in concert with a customer's management and network support group to prioritize activity and to put critical services back online as quickly as feasible.
• Data recovery: The effort required to recover data damaged by a ransomware attack depends on the condition of the systems, how many files are affected, and which recovery methods are needed. Ransomware assaults can take down pivotal databases which, if not carefully closed, may have to be reconstructed from scratch. This can apply to DNS and AD databases. Exchange and SQL Server depend on AD, and many ERP and other business-critical applications depend on Microsoft SQL Server. Often some detective work could be required to locate clean data. For instance, undamaged Outlook Email Offline Folder Files may have survived on employees' PCs and notebooks that were off line at the time of the assault. Progent's ProSight Data Protection Services offer Altaro VM Backup technology to defend against ransomware attacks by leveraging Immutable Cloud Storage. This creates tamper-proof backup data that cannot be modified by any user including administrators.
• Deploying modern AV/ransomware protection: Progent's Active Security Monitoring utilizes SentinelOne's behavioral analysis technology to offer small and medium-sized businesses the advantages of the identical anti-virus technology implemented by many of the world's largest corporations including Netflix, Citi, and NASDAQ. By providing real-time malware blocking, detection, mitigation, recovery and forensics in one integrated platform, Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring reduces total cost of ownership, simplifies administration, and promotes rapid operational continuity. SentinelOne's next-generation endpoint protection (NGEP) built into in Progent's ProSight ASM was ranked by Gartner Group as the "most visionary Endpoint Protection Platform." Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. Learn about Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) endpoint protection and ransomware recovery with SentinelOne technology.
• Negotiating a settlement with the hacker Progent has experience negotiating ransom settlements with threat actors. This requires working closely with the victim and the insurance carrier, if any. Activities consist of determining the kind of ransomware used in the attack; identifying and making contact with the hacker persona; verifying decryption capabilities; budgeting a settlement amount with the ransomware victim and the insurance carrier; negotiating a settlement and schedule with the TA; confirming compliance with anti-money laundering sanctions; carrying out the crypto-currency transfer to the TA; receiving, reviewing, and operating the decryption tool; troubleshooting decryption problems; building a pristine environment; mapping and connecting datastores to reflect precisely their pre-attack condition; and reprovisioning computers and software services.
• Forensics: This activity involves discovering the ransomware attack's progress throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack travelled within the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the impact and uncovers gaps in rules or work habits that need to be corrected to prevent later break-ins. Forensics involves the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to detect changes. Forensic analysis is commonly given a high priority by the insurance provider. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is critical that other important recovery processes such as operational resumption are executed concurrently. Progent has an extensive roster of information technology and security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to carry out activities for containment, business resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.
