Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800

24x7 Online Help from a Senior Ransomware Consultant
Ransomware needs time to work its way across a target network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are typically launched on weekends and late at night, when IT personnel are likely to take longer to become aware of a breach and are least able to organize a quick and forceful defense. The more lateral movement ransomware can make within a target's network, the more time it will require to restore basic operations and scrambled files and the more data can be stolen and posted to the dark web.

Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to assist organizations to complete the time-critical first phase in mitigating a ransomware attack by putting out the fire. Progent's online ransomware engineers can assist organizations in the Porto Alegre metro area to locate and quarantine infected devices and guard clean resources from being penetrated.

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

Progent's Ransomware Response Expertise Available in Porto Alegre
Modern variants of ransomware such as Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Nephilim encrypt online data and attack any accessible system restores. Files synched to the cloud can also be impacted. For a poorly defended environment, this can make system recovery nearly impossible and basically throws the datacenter back to the beginning. Threat Actors (TAs), the cybercriminals behind a ransomware assault, insist on a ransom payment for the decryption tools required to unlock scrambled data. Ransomware assaults also attempt to steal (or "exfiltrate") files and TAs require an additional settlement in exchange for not posting this data or selling it. Even if you are able to rollback your system to a tolerable date in time, exfiltration can pose a major problem depending on the sensitivity of the downloaded information.

The restoration work after a ransomware attack involves several crucial phases, most of which can proceed concurrently if the recovery workgroup has enough members with the required experience.

• Containment: This urgent initial response involves blocking the sideways progress of ransomware within your IT system. The more time a ransomware assault is permitted to go unchecked, the longer and more costly the recovery process. Recognizing this, Progent maintains a round-the-clock Ransomware Hotline monitored by veteran ransomware recovery experts. Containment processes include isolating infected endpoint devices from the network to restrict the contagion, documenting the IT system, and securing entry points.
• Operational continuity: This covers bringing back the IT system to a minimal useful level of functionality with the least downtime. This process is usually the top priority for the victims of the ransomware attack, who often see it as a life-or-death issue for their company. This project also demands the widest array of technical abilities that span domain controllers, DHCP servers, physical and virtual machines, PCs, laptops and mobile phones, databases, productivity and mission-critical applications, network architecture, and secure endpoint access management. Progent's ransomware recovery experts use state-of-the-art workgroup tools to coordinate the multi-faceted restoration effort. Progent understands the urgency of working rapidly, tirelessly, and in concert with a client's management and IT staff to prioritize activity and to get critical services back online as quickly as possible.
• Data recovery: The work necessary to recover data damaged by a ransomware attack varies according to the condition of the systems, the number of files that are encrypted, and what restore techniques are required. Ransomware assaults can destroy key databases which, if not carefully shut down, might have to be rebuilt from scratch. This can include DNS and AD databases. Exchange and SQL Server rely on AD, and many ERP and other business-critical applications depend on Microsoft SQL Server. Often some detective work may be required to find clean data. For example, non-encrypted OST files may exist on staff desktop computers and laptops that were off line at the time of the ransomware attack.
• Deploying modern AV/ransomware defense: Progent's Active Security Monitoring utilizes SentinelOne's behavioral analysis technology to give small and medium-sized companies the advantages of the same AV technology used by some of the world's biggest enterprises such as Walmart, Visa, and NASDAQ. By providing in-line malware filtering, identification, mitigation, recovery and forensics in one integrated platform, Progent's Active Security Monitoring reduces total cost of ownership, simplifies administration, and expedites resumption of operations. SentinelOne's next-generation endpoint protection engine built into in ProSight Active Security Monitoring was ranked by Gartner Group as the industry's "most visionary Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP)." Progent is a SentinelOne Partner. Find out about Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring next-generation endpoint protection and ransomware defense with SentinelOne technology.
• Negotiating a settlement with the threat actor (TA): Progent is experienced in negotiating settlements with hackers. This requires close co-operation with the victim and the cyber insurance carrier, if there is one. Services include determining the kind of ransomware used in the assault; identifying and establishing communications the hacker; verifying decryption tool; deciding on a settlement with the victim and the insurance carrier; establishing a settlement and timeline with the hacker; checking compliance with anti-money laundering regulations; carrying out the crypto-currency payment to the hacker; acquiring, reviewing, and operating the decryptor utility; troubleshooting failed files; creating a pristine environment; remapping and connecting drives to reflect exactly their pre-encryption condition; and restoring machines and services.
• Forensic analysis: This process involves uncovering the ransomware assault's storyline across the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware assault progressed through the network assists you to evaluate the damage and brings to light gaps in rules or work habits that should be rectified to prevent later break-ins. Forensics involves the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to detect variations. Forensics is commonly given a high priority by the cyber insurance provider. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is essential that other important activities such as business resumption are executed in parallel. Progent maintains a large roster of IT and security professionals with the skills needed to perform activities for containment, business resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.
