24x7 Remote Access to a Senior Ransomware Consultant
Ransomware requires time to work its way through a target network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are typically launched on weekends and at night, when support staff are likely to be slower to become aware of a breach and are least able to organize a rapid and coordinated response. The more lateral movement ransomware can achieve within a victim's network, the more time it will require to recover basic operations and damaged files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web.

Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to assist you to carry out the time-critical first step in mitigating a ransomware assault by containing the malware. Progent's online ransomware experts can assist businesses in the Hialeah metro area to identify and quarantine breached devices and guard undamaged resources from being compromised.

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

Progent's Ransomware Response Services Available in Hialeah
Current variants of ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, Netwalker, and Nephilim encrypt online data and infiltrate any accessible system restores. Data synchronized to the cloud can also be impacted. For a vulnerable environment, this can make automated recovery nearly impossible and basically throws the datacenter back to the beginning. Threat Actors (TAs), the hackers responsible for ransomware attack, insist on a settlement fee in exchange for the decryption tools required to unlock scrambled data. Ransomware assaults also try to exfiltrate information and TAs demand an extra payment in exchange for not posting this data or selling it. Even if you can restore your system to an acceptable date in time, exfiltration can be a major problem according to the nature of the stolen information.

The restoration process subsequent to ransomware incursion has a number of crucial phases, the majority of which can proceed concurrently if the response workgroup has a sufficient number of members with the required skill sets.

• Containment: This urgent first step requires arresting the lateral progress of ransomware across your network. The more time a ransomware assault is permitted to run unchecked, the more complex and more costly the recovery effort. Recognizing this, Progent keeps a round-the-clock Ransomware Hotline monitored by seasoned ransomware recovery experts. Quarantine activities consist of isolating affected endpoint devices from the network to restrict the contagion, documenting the IT system, and securing entry points.
• Operational continuity: This covers bringing back the network to a basic acceptable degree of functionality with the least delay. This process is usually the top priority for the victims of the ransomware assault, who often perceive it to be an existential issue for their business. This activity also requires the widest range of IT abilities that cover domain controllers, DHCP servers, physical and virtual machines, PCs, laptops and mobile phones, databases, office and mission-critical apps, network topology, and protected endpoint access management. Progent's ransomware recovery team uses advanced collaboration tools to organize the multi-faceted restoration effort. Progent understands the importance of working quickly, continuously, and in unison with a client's management and network support staff to prioritize tasks and to get essential resources back online as quickly as possible.
• Data recovery: The effort required to restore files impacted by a ransomware assault depends on the condition of the systems, the number of files that are affected, and which recovery techniques are required. Ransomware attacks can destroy key databases which, if not properly closed, may need to be reconstructed from the beginning. This can include DNS and Active Directory (AD) databases. Exchange and Microsoft SQL Server rely on AD, and many manufacturing and other business-critical platforms depend on Microsoft SQL Server. Often some detective work could be needed to find clean data. For instance, non-encrypted Outlook Email Offline Folder Files may have survived on employees' PCs and laptops that were off line at the time of the ransomware attack. Progent's ProSight Data Protection Services utilize Altaro VM Backup technology to protect against ransomware attacks via Immutable Cloud Storage. This produces tamper-proof backup data that cannot be modified by anyone including root users.
• Setting up modern AV/ransomware protection: Progent's Active Security Monitoring utilizes SentinelOne's machine learning technology to offer small and mid-sized businesses the advantages of the same AV tools implemented by many of the world's biggest corporations including Walmart, Visa, and Salesforce. By providing in-line malware filtering, detection, containment, recovery and forensics in a single integrated platform, Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring reduces TCO, streamlines administration, and expedites recovery. SentinelOne's next-generation endpoint protection engine incorporated in Progent's ProSight ASM was listed 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 defense with SentinelOne technology.
• Negotiating a settlement with the threat actor (TA): Progent has experience negotiating settlements with threat actors. This calls for close co-operation with the ransomware victim and the insurance carrier, if there is one. Services include establishing the type of ransomware involved in the attack; identifying and making contact with the hacker persona; verifying decryption tool; budgeting a settlement with the victim and the cyber insurance provider; establishing a settlement amount and timeline with the hacker; confirming compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) sanctions; overseeing the crypto-currency transfer to the hacker; acquiring, reviewing, and operating the decryptor utility; debugging failed files; creating a clean environment; remapping and reconnecting drives to match precisely their pre-attack state; and restoring machines and services.
• Forensics: This process is aimed at uncovering the ransomware attack's progress across the targeted network from beginning to end. This audit trail of how a ransomware attack travelled through the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the impact and uncovers gaps in policies or processes that need to be rectified to avoid future breaches. Forensics involves the review of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to look for variations. Forensics is commonly assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier. Since forensics can take time, it is essential that other important recovery processes like operational continuity are performed concurrently. Progent has an extensive team of IT and security professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out activities for containment, business continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensic analysis.
