Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800

24x7 Online Help from a Top-tier Ransomware Engineer
Ransomware needs time to steal its way through a target network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are commonly launched on weekends and at night, when IT personnel are likely to be slower to recognize a breach and are least able to mount a quick and forceful defense. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to achieve within a target's network, the longer it will require to restore basic IT services and damaged files and the more data can be stolen and posted to the dark web.

Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to help you to take the time-critical first step in responding to a ransomware attack by containing the malware. Progent's online ransomware engineers can assist organizations in the Brasília metro area to locate and quarantine breached devices and guard clean resources from being compromised.

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

Progent's Ransomware Recovery Expertise Offered in Brasília
Current variants of crypto-ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Egregor encrypt online files and infiltrate any available system restores and backups. Data synched to the cloud can also be corrupted. For a vulnerable network, this can make system recovery almost impossible and effectively throws the IT system back to the beginning. So-called Threat Actors, the hackers behind a ransomware assault, demand a ransom fee in exchange for the decryptors required to unlock encrypted data. Ransomware attacks also attempt to steal (or "exfiltrate") files and TAs require an extra payment in exchange for not posting this data on the dark web. Even if you are able to restore your system to an acceptable point in time, exfiltration can be a big issue depending on the sensitivity of the stolen information.

The restoration work after a ransomware penetration has a number of distinct stages, most of which can be performed concurrently if the response workgroup has a sufficient number of people with the required experience.

• Containment: This urgent first step involves arresting the sideways spread of the attack within your IT system. The more time a ransomware attack is permitted to run unrestricted, the longer and more costly the restoration process. Recognizing this, Progent maintains a 24x7 Ransomware Hotline staffed by veteran ransomware recovery engineers. Quarantine activities include cutting off affected endpoint devices from the rest of network to minimize the spread, documenting the environment, and securing entry points.
• Operational continuity: This involves restoring the network to a minimal useful degree of capability with the shortest possible delay. This effort is typically the top priority for the victims of the ransomware attack, who often see it as an existential issue for their company. This project also requires the broadest range of technical skills that span domain controllers, DHCP servers, physical and virtual machines, PCs, laptops and smart phones, databases, office and mission-critical applications, network architecture, and protected endpoint access. Progent's ransomware recovery team uses advanced collaboration tools to coordinate the complex recovery process. Progent understands the importance of working rapidly, continuously, and in unison with a client's managers and network support staff to prioritize tasks and to put critical services on line again as quickly as feasible.
• Data restoration: The work necessary to restore data damaged by a ransomware attack varies according to the state of the systems, how many files are encrypted, and what recovery methods are needed. Ransomware assaults can destroy pivotal databases which, if not properly closed, may have to be rebuilt from scratch. This can include DNS and Active Directory (AD) databases. Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server depend on AD, and many financial and other mission-critical applications depend on Microsoft SQL Server. Often some detective work could be needed to locate undamaged data. For instance, undamaged OST files may exist on staff PCs and laptops that were off line during the ransomware attack. Progent's Altaro VM Backup experts can assist you to utilize immutable backup for cloud storage, allowing tamper-proof data while under the defined policy so that backup data cannot be modified or deleted by any user including administrators. This provides an extra level of security and restoration ability in case of a successful ransomware attack.
• Deploying modern antivirus/ransomware defense: Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring incorporates SentinelOne's behavioral analysis technology to give small and mid-sized businesses the benefits of the identical AV tools deployed by some of the world's biggest corporations such as Netflix, Visa, and NASDAQ. By delivering real-time malware filtering, identification, containment, recovery and analysis in one integrated platform, Progent's ProSight ASM cuts TCO, streamlines management, and promotes rapid operational continuity. SentinelOne's next-generation endpoint protection (NGEP) incorporated in Progent's Active Security Monitoring 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 has experience negotiating settlements with threat actors. This calls for close co-operation with the victim and the insurance provider, if any. Services include establishing the kind of ransomware used in the assault; identifying and establishing communications the hacker persona; verifying decryption tool; deciding on a settlement with the victim and the insurance carrier; establishing a settlement amount and schedule with the hacker; confirming adherence to anti-money laundering sanctions; overseeing the crypto-currency payment to the hacker; acquiring, reviewing, and using the decryption utility; troubleshooting failed files; building a clean environment; mapping and reconnecting datastores to reflect exactly their pre-attack state; and reprovisioning machines and services.
• Forensic analysis: This activity is aimed at discovering the ransomware assault's progress throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware attack progressed through the network assists your IT staff to assess the damage and highlights vulnerabilities in security policies or work habits that should be rectified to prevent future break-ins. Forensics involves the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to look for changes. Forensic analysis is commonly given a high priority by the cyber insurance provider. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is critical that other important recovery processes such as operational resumption are performed in parallel. Progent has an extensive roster of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the skills required to carry out activities for containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.
