Ransomware Consulting and Recovery Services

As ransomware attacks become a larger part of the threat landscape, it is critical to have a proactive approach to prevention, coupled with an effective program to quickly contain, respond to, and recover from attacks.  

The business impacts of a data breach go far beyond their direct costs.  Attacks also impact a company's reputation - and the bottom line. We can assist your organization to recover faster, minimize downtime, and reduce the risk of data loss. 

Minimizing Impact is Key to Effective Incident Response

We utilize a four-step approach that aligns with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) definition of incident response to help organizations quickly and effectively respond to ransomware attacks and data breaches:

1. Preparation —Have a plan of action and be ready to respond
2. Identification — If an incident has occurred, assess its severity and identify how the threat actor accessed the environment
3. Containment and Eradication —Stop the threat actor and minimize damage
4. Recovery —Post-incident rebuilding, lessons learned, and training
