Ransomware Remediation & 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 – Our Experts Can Help With A Ransomware Infection and ensure your IT Environment Has Ransomware Protection Built Into The Systems.

Ransomware remediation is the process of eradicating ransomware from compromised network systems. This is a gradual process with many different sub-components, and each component that is impacted needs to be fixed. The persistent techniques included into ransomware make it possible for it to remain on computers without being completely removed- making ransomware remediation 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.

Signs of a Ransomware Attack

1.

Poor system performance because the script consumes system resources in order to execute searches and encrypt files.

2.

The installation of unauthorized software, as attackers install numerous tools to assist them in exploiting vulnerabilities and performing other important activities.

3.

Suspicious network traffic coming into and leaving the system as the ransomware script interacts with the Command & Control (C&C) Server.

4.

A surge in disk activity while the ransomware software hunts down and creates encrypted files in your system.

5.

Security system modifications are being made in an effort to prevent surveillance operations.

6.

Backups are being altered with a plan of preventing the victim from restoring their data.

7.

New account creations, particularly for privileged accounts in an attempted ransomware infection.

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. This trend is becoming more popular amongst cybercriminals, and it’s crucial that your business is protected from the continually evolving threats.

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.

The CrowdStrike 2022 Global Threat Report states that big game hunting operations will continue dominating the eCrime environment for the foreseeable future, leveraging RaaS– making it easier for malicious attackers to go after your data and information. This is where ransomware protection is key, especially for the common targets ransomware attackers frequently go after.

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

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.

Cybercriminals now have easier access to ransomware, making it possible for threat actors with less experience to launch complex assaults. Additionally, the severity of the harm caused by incidents is rising, along with ransom demands.

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

conventional threat detection techniques are not enough

Antivirus software and other conventional threat detection techniques are simply ineffective against majority of these attacks. Therefore, you must have a dependable incident response plan in place that includes a ransomware recovery strategy.

A plan ensures responses are thorough

A plan is developed so that responses are thorough, and when problems do arise, uncertainty and panic-induced decisions are prevented It should include the obvious steps of identification, containment, elimination, and reinstatement of activities – but it shouldn’t stop there…

Lessons learned & continual development

Following an incident, an investigation of the root cause should take the organization through a lessons learned phase, allowing it to continue to mature the strategy and fine-tune future activities.
