Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800

24x7 Online Access to a Senior Ransomware Consultant
Ransomware needs time to steal its way across a network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are commonly launched on weekends and late at night, when support staff are likely to be slower to recognize a breach and are least able to organize a rapid and forceful response. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to make inside a victim's network, the more time 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 guide organizations to take the time-critical first phase in mitigating a ransomware assault by containing the malware. Progent's online ransomware experts can assist businesses in the Saddle Brook area to locate and quarantine infected devices and protect undamaged assets from being penetrated.

Current variants of crypto-ransomware such as Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Egregor encrypt online files and attack any available system restores. Data synched to the cloud can also be corrupted. For a vulnerable network, this can make system recovery nearly impossible and effectively knocks the IT system back to the beginning. Threat Actors (TAs), the cybercriminals behind a ransomware assault, demand a ransom payment for the decryptors needed to recover encrypted files. Ransomware attacks also try to exfiltrate information and hackers require an extra ransom in exchange for not posting this information or selling it. Even if you can restore your system to a tolerable point in time, exfiltration can be a big issue according to the sensitivity of the stolen data.

The restoration work subsequent to ransomware attack has several crucial phases, the majority of which can be performed concurrently if the response team has enough people with the required skill sets.

• Containment: This urgent initial step requires blocking the sideways progress of ransomware within your network. The longer a ransomware attack is permitted to run unchecked, the longer and more costly the recovery process. Because of this, Progent maintains a 24x7 Ransomware Hotline staffed by seasoned ransomware response experts. Quarantine activities consist of isolating affected endpoint devices from the network to block the contagion, documenting the environment, and protecting entry points.
• System continuity: This involves bringing back the network to a basic useful degree of functionality with the shortest possible downtime. This process is usually the highest priority for the targets of the ransomware attack, who often perceive it to be a life-or-death issue for their business. This activity also requires the widest range of IT skills that span domain controllers, DHCP servers, physical and virtual machines, PCs, notebooks and smart phones, databases, productivity and line-of-business applications, network architecture, and secure endpoint access management. Progent's recovery experts use state-of-the-art workgroup tools to organize the complex recovery process. Progent understands the urgency of working rapidly, continuously, and in unison with a customer's managers and network support staff to prioritize activity and to put vital services back online as fast as possible.
• Data recovery: The work necessary to restore data impacted by a ransomware assault depends on the state of the network, how many files are affected, and which recovery techniques are needed. Ransomware assaults can take down key databases which, if not carefully closed, might have to be rebuilt from scratch. This can include DNS and Active Directory databases. Exchange and SQL Server depend on Active Directory, and many manufacturing and other business-critical applications are powered by Microsoft SQL Server. Some detective work may be needed to find clean data. For instance, undamaged Outlook Email Offline Folder Files may have survived on staff desktop computers and notebooks that were off line during the attack. Progent's ProSight Data Protection Services offer Altaro VM Backup technology to defend against ransomware attacks via Immutable Cloud Storage. This creates tamper-proof backup data that cannot be erased or modified by anyone including administrators or root users.
• Implementing modern antivirus/ransomware defense: Progent's Active Security Monitoring utilizes SentinelOne's machine learning technology to offer small and mid-sized businesses the benefits of the same AV tools deployed by some of the world's largest enterprises such as Walmart, Citi, and Salesforce. By providing real-time malware blocking, detection, containment, repair and forensics in one integrated platform, ProSight ASM reduces TCO, simplifies administration, and expedites recovery. SentinelOne's next-generation endpoint protection (NGEP) built into in ProSight ASM was ranked by Gartner Group as the industry's "most visionary Endpoint Protection Platform." Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

• Negotiating a settlement with the hacker Progent is experienced in negotiating ransom settlements with hackers. This calls for close co-operation with the ransomware victim and the insurance provider, if there is one. Services include determining the kind of ransomware involved in the attack; identifying and making contact with the hacker persona; verifying decryption tool; deciding on a settlement amount with the ransomware victim and the cyber insurance provider; negotiating a settlement and timeline with the TA; confirming adherence to anti-money laundering (AML) sanctions; carrying out the crypto-currency transfer to the hacker; receiving, reviewing, and operating the decryption utility; debugging failed files; building a pristine environment; remapping and connecting drives to reflect precisely their pre-encryption condition; and restoring computers and software services.
• Forensics: This process involves learning the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled within the network helps you to evaluate the damage and highlights gaps in security policies or work habits that should be rectified to avoid later breaches. Forensics involves the review of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for variations. Forensics is commonly given a high priority by the cyber insurance provider. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is vital that other key activities like operational resumption are performed in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and experience required to carry out the work of containment, business continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.
