Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800

24x7 Online Help from a Top-tier Ransomware Consultant
Ransomware needs time to steal its way through a network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are typically launched on weekends and at night, when IT staff may take longer to recognize a breach and are less able to organize a quick and forceful response. The more lateral progress ransomware can achieve inside a victim's network, the longer it takes to restore core IT services and scrambled files and the more information can be stolen and posted to the dark web.

Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to guide organizations to carry out the urgent first phase in mitigating a ransomware assault by containing the malware. Progent's remote ransomware experts can help businesses in the Cheyenne area to locate and isolate breached devices and protect clean assets from being compromised.

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

Current variants of ransomware such as Ryuk, Maze, Netwalker, and Egregor encrypt online files and invade any available system restores. Data synchronized to the cloud can also be corrupted. For a vulnerable network, this can make automated recovery almost impossible and effectively knocks the IT system back to square one. Threat Actors (TAs), the cybercriminals responsible for ransomware assault, insist on a settlement fee for the decryptors needed to unlock scrambled files. Ransomware attacks also try to steal (or "exfiltrate") files and hackers require an additional ransom for not posting this information on the dark web. Even if you can rollback your system to an acceptable point in time, exfiltration can be a big issue according to the sensitivity of the stolen information.

The recovery work subsequent to ransomware breach has several distinct stages, most of which can proceed in parallel if the response workgroup has enough people with the required experience.

• Quarantine: This urgent initial response requires blocking the lateral progress of ransomware within your network. The longer a ransomware attack is allowed to run unchecked, the longer and more costly the recovery effort. Recognizing this, Progent keeps a round-the-clock Ransomware Hotline monitored by veteran ransomware recovery engineers. Containment activities consist of isolating infected endpoints from the rest of network to block the spread, documenting the environment, and securing entry points.
• System continuity: This covers restoring the network to a minimal useful level of functionality with the least downtime. This process is usually at the highest level of urgency 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 broadest range of technical abilities that cover domain controllers, DHCP servers, physical and virtual machines, PCs, laptops and smart phones, databases, productivity and mission-critical apps, network architecture, and safe endpoint access. Progent's ransomware recovery team uses state-of-the-art workgroup platforms to organize the multi-faceted recovery effort. Progent understands the urgency of working quickly, tirelessly, and in concert with a client's managers and network support staff to prioritize tasks and to get critical resources on line again as quickly as feasible.
• Data recovery: The work required to recover files impacted by a ransomware assault varies according to the condition of the systems, how many files are affected, and which recovery methods are needed. Ransomware assaults can destroy key databases which, if not gracefully shut down, might need to be reconstructed from scratch. This can apply to DNS and AD databases. Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server depend on Active Directory, and many manufacturing and other mission-critical applications depend on SQL Server. Often some detective work could be needed to locate clean data. For instance, undamaged OST files (Outlook Email Offline Folder Files) may have survived on staff PCs and notebooks that were off line at the time of the attack. Progent's ProSight Data Protection Services offer Altaro VM Backup tools to defend against ransomware attacks by leveraging Immutable Cloud Storage. This produces tamper-proof backup data that cannot be modified by any user including administrators.

• Negotiating a settlement with the hacker Progent has experience negotiating ransom settlements with hackers. This requires working closely with the victim and the insurance provider, if any. Services include establishing the kind of ransomware used in the attack; identifying and establishing communications the hacker persona; testing decryption capabilities; budgeting a settlement with the ransomware victim and the cyber insurance carrier; establishing a settlement and schedule with the TA; checking adherence to anti-money laundering sanctions; overseeing the crypto-currency payment to the TA; receiving, reviewing, and operating the decryption tool; debugging failed files; building a pristine environment; mapping and reconnecting drives to reflect exactly their pre-encryption state; and restoring computers and software services.
• Forensic analysis: This activity involves learning the ransomware assault's storyline across the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled within the network assists you to evaluate the damage and uncovers weaknesses in security policies or processes that need to be rectified to avoid future break-ins. 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 variations. Forensic analysis is commonly given a top priority by the cyber insurance provider. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is essential that other key recovery processes like business continuity are executed in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of information technology and data security professionals with the skills required to perform the work of containment, business resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.
