Ransomware protection
Ransomware stops businesses every day: our ransomware protection builds layered defences and a response plan so you never have to pay a ransom.
Ransomware protection: layered defence.
Most attacks get in through email, stolen passwords or unpatched exposed services. We work on all of these fronts and on training your people.
If an attack is already under way, we help you isolate the systems, assess the damage and restart from the backups.
Ransomware protection: what to do during an attack.
If files with strange extensions or a ransom note appear, disconnect the computer from the network at once without switching it off. Then alert whoever manages your systems and do not pay: paying does not guarantee your data back and it funds new attacks. Also, before any restore you need to understand how the attack got in.
For some ransomware families there are free decryption tools, collected by the No More Ransom project of Europol and police forces. However, real ransomware protection is prevention: updates, multi-factor authentication, email filters and above all copies of your data that the attack cannot reach.
So ransomware protection works together with a plan of isolated, tested backups and a segmented network, which stops the malware from spreading from one computer to the whole company.

Ransomware protection: questions.
It is not advisable: it does not guarantee your data will be returned and it funds criminals. The real defence is isolated, tested backups.
Disconnect the device from the network immediately without switching it off and contact us: isolating quickly limits the damage.
