Cabo Frio Ransomware Filtering and Repair Consulting

Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800

24x7 Online Access to a Top-tier Ransomware Engineer
Ransomware requires time to work its way across a target network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are commonly unleashed on weekends and at night, when IT staff are likely to take longer to recognize a break-in and are less able to mount a rapid and coordinated response. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to make within a target's system, the longer 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 designed to guide organizations to complete the time-critical first step in mitigating a ransomware attack by containing the malware. Progent's remote ransomware experts can help organizations in the Cabo Frio area to identify and quarantine breached devices and guard clean assets from being penetrated.

If your system 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 Offered in Cabo Frio
Modern variants of ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, Netwalker, and Nephilim encrypt online files and infiltrate any accessible backups. Data synchronized to the cloud can also be corrupted. For a poorly defended environment, this can make system recovery nearly impossible and effectively throws the IT system back to square one. Threat Actors (TAs), the cybercriminals behind a ransomware attack, demand a settlement fee in exchange for the decryptors required to recover encrypted files. Ransomware assaults also try to steal (or "exfiltrate") information and hackers demand an extra settlement in exchange for not posting this information or selling it. Even if you can restore your system to a tolerable date in time, exfiltration can pose a major problem depending on the nature of the stolen information.

The restoration work subsequent to ransomware attack has several crucial stages, most of which can be performed in parallel if the recovery team has a sufficient number of people with the necessary skill sets.

• Containment: This urgent first step involves arresting the lateral spread of ransomware within your IT system. The longer a ransomware attack is allowed to go unrestricted, the more complex and more costly the recovery effort. Recognizing this, Progent maintains a 24x7 Ransomware Hotline monitored by seasoned ransomware response engineers. Containment processes consist of cutting off affected endpoint devices from the rest of network to restrict the spread, documenting the IT system, and securing entry points.
• System continuity: This covers bringing back the network to a minimal useful degree of capability with the least delay. This process is usually at the highest level of urgency for the victims of the ransomware assault, who often see it as an existential issue for their business. This project also requires the broadest range of technical abilities that cover domain controllers, DHCP servers, physical and virtual machines, PCs, laptops and smart phones, databases, office and line-of-business apps, network topology, and secure remote access. Progent's recovery team uses advanced workgroup platforms to coordinate the complicated restoration effort. Progent appreciates the urgency of working quickly, continuously, and in concert with a client's managers and network support group to prioritize activity and to get critical resources on line again as fast as feasible.
• Data restoration: The work required to restore data impacted by a ransomware assault varies according to the state of the systems, how many files are affected, and which restore techniques are needed. Ransomware attacks can destroy key databases which, if not carefully shut down, may have to be reconstructed from the beginning. This can include DNS and AD databases. Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server rely on Active Directory, and many manufacturing and other business-critical platforms are powered by SQL Server. Some detective work could be needed to find clean data. For example, undamaged OST files may have survived on staff desktop computers and notebooks that were off line during the ransomware attack.
• Setting up modern antivirus/ransomware defense: Progent's ProSight ASM utilizes SentinelOne's machine learning technology to give small and mid-sized businesses the benefits of the same AV tools deployed by many of the world's biggest corporations including Walmart, Visa, and Salesforce. By providing real-time malware filtering, detection, containment, restoration and forensics in a single integrated platform, Progent's ProSight ASM lowers TCO, streamlines administration, and expedites resumption of operations. SentinelOne's next-generation endpoint protection (NGEP) built into in Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring was listed by Gartner Group as the "most visionary Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP)." Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. Learn about Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring endpoint protection and ransomware defense with SentinelOne technology.
• Negotiation with the hacker Progent has experience negotiating ransom settlements with threat actors. This calls for working closely with the ransomware victim and the cyber insurance carrier, if there is one. Activities include determining the type of ransomware involved in the assault; identifying and making contact with the hacker persona; verifying decryption tool; budgeting a settlement amount with the ransomware victim and the cyber insurance carrier; establishing a settlement and timeline with the hacker; confirming adherence to anti-money laundering regulations; overseeing the crypto-currency disbursement to the hacker; acquiring, reviewing, and using the decryptor tool; debugging failed files; building a pristine environment; remapping and connecting datastores to reflect exactly their pre-encryption state; and recovering physical and virtual devices and software services.
• Forensic analysis: This activity is aimed at discovering the ransomware assault's progress across the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware attack progressed through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the damage and uncovers vulnerabilities in security policies or work habits that should be corrected to avoid later breaches. Forensics involves the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for anomalies. Forensics is commonly given a high priority by the cyber insurance provider. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is vital that other important activities such as operational continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive roster of IT and cybersecurity experts with the knowledge and experience required to carry out activities for containment, business resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.
