Ransomware Remediation and Ransomware Protection Solutions

Were you recently the victim of a ransomware attack?

Simply want to protect your company from ransomware threats?

Don’t pay the ransom yet – our experts can help with a ransomware infection and ensure your IT environment has ransomware protection built into the systems.


Ransomware remediation is a delicate process of not only eradicating ransomware from compromised network systems, but potentially coordinating with cybersecurity insurance, forensics and law enforcement, whilst communicating with the organization’s stakeholders. This is a gradual process with many different sub-components, and each component that is impacted needs to be fixed. The persistent techniques built into ransomware make it possible for it to remain on computers without being completely removed — this makes removing it particularly challenging. Wiping the afflicted machine or restoring its data from a backup are the two most efficient ways to get rid of ransomware.

But sometimes this isn’t always possible.

Regardless of your situation, we’re here to help. Whether it be ransomware detection, ransomware remediation, ransomware protection, or ransomware prevention, our experts have the knowledge and resources to mitigate/prevent a widespread ransomware attack and ransomware infection.


Ransomware Detection

The first line of defense against a malware attack and/or viruses is ransomware detection. Until files are blocked or encrypted, ransomware remains undetected on a compromised computer. Most of the time, victims are unaware they have malware until they receive a ransom demand. Ransomware detection identifies the infection sooner, allowing victims to take action before irrevocable damage occurs. By detecting ransomware quickly and maintaining a regular backup routine, you won’t have to wait for an undependable decryption key to restore your system. As a result, your files might never be lost.

97% of ransomware attacks infect the intended target within four hours.

Ransomware Remediation

Recovery from a ransomware attack is – at best – difficult and time-consuming. It can cost a lot of money for any business to determine the extent of the attack, find the most recent clean data, and recover rapidly while also making sure that your backups haven’t been destroyed or encrypted. Many organizations go back and forth trying to decide if they should pay the ransom or not, and it can feel like you’re stuck between a rock and hard place.

Jump into action with our multi-talented experts, who have experience cooperating with the FBI and cybersecurity insurance, extensive knowledge about ransomware decryption tools, and expertise in ransomware removal with a variety of different strains (CryptoLocker, WannaCry, LockBit, and more).

96% of victims who paid the ransom did not regain complete access to their sensitive data.

Ransomware Protection

To successfully combat ransomware and have effective ransomware protection, it’s more crucial than ever to secure the most vulnerable areas of risk – endpoints and cloud workloads, data, and identity – and stay ahead of the cyberthreats in today’s world. This includes antivirus, network security protocols, email security protocols, other security software, and more on a range of devices – computers, tablets, mobile devices – you get the idea. Our experts can ensure you follow insurance requirements and give you peace of mind knowing you’re protected. Afterall, you never know when or where the next attack may come from.

62% of IT decision-makers are worried that their organization's current data protection measures won't be enough to counteract the risks posted by malware and ransomware today.

What Is Cyber Big Game Hunting?

Cyber big game hunting is a form of cyberattack that frequently uses ransomware to target important, high-profile organizations or high-value enterprises. In general, victims are selected based on their financial capacity and likelihood of paying a ransom in order to restart business operations or escape public scrutiny. Big game hunters use a range of tactics to carry out their attacks. The most common technique is ransomware, a sort of virus that will encrypt files and demand payment to decrypt the stolen data.

Common targets include:

  • Large companies/corporations
  • Banks/financial institutions
  • Utilities
  • Hospitals/healthcare institutions
  • Government agencies
  • High net worth persons, including celebrities and powerful businesspeople
  • Any entity that maintains sensitive information, such as trade secrets, medical records, or intellectual property

Remediate

  • Work with insurance/law enforcement to remove old servers after forensics
  • Establish root cause and remediation
  • Provide guidance on environmental enhancements/re-architecture to prevent ransomware attacks in the future

Do You Have an Incident Response Plan?

An incident response plan enables businesses to act swiftly and efficiently in the face of a stressful scenario involving threats, disruption, or disaster – which can impact the organization’s operations on all levels – and are designed to address scenarios that endanger digital assets and data access. The level of importance of having this type of plan cannot be overstated because should an incident occur, the people who will be dealing with it might be at their worst – stressed, underslept, afraid, and emotionally spent. Creating a comprehensive plan that everyone is familiar with ahead of time will mitigate decision fatigue, mistakes, and delays when the “IT” hits the fan, so to speak.

As your dedicated ally in ransomware incident response, we can lessen the harm done by an attack, get your operations back up and running, and reduce the likelihood of future threats.
