Ransomware is often a malicious actors’ preferred business model and is a common threat faced by organisations worldwide. It is continuing to grow as a lucrative, low risk way to extract money from anyone from individuals to multi-national organisations. Attackers often target a single person or group through manipulation tactics such as phishing emails, or attack vulnerable or outdated systems that have not been detected by internal tools or procedures to install ransomware.
What is the likelihood my business will be affected?
How am I likely to be compromised?
What will the ramifications be?
These are all very relevant questions and the answer to all of them is; it depends on how prepared you are. We excel in helping our clients become ransomware resilient by putting tried and tested countermeasures and best practices in place, so, if the worst happens, you can recover as quickly as possible from an attack.
We make your defences as challenging as possible for attackers, so even if they are successful in accessing your systems, your valuable data remains secure and accessible to the right people
Effective recovery plans are in place, are tried, and are tested
We will help you establish clear protocols that outline detailed steps to follow for ransomware-specific attacks; to detect, isolate, eradicate, recover, and learn. This includes processes for notifying different stakeholders including your staff, customers, insurance providers, and media.
Just like elite athletes, your defence teams will need to be well trained, know their gameplan inside out and the oppositions’ tactics to perform at their very best. Our ransomware resilience support includes realistic phishing attacks, stress testing of existing infrastructure, and attacks on specific network devices using the same techniques real world attackers will deploy.
Ensure regular and reliable data back up and restoration capabilities exist
Even if you have invested in extensive detection and response tooling, nothing guarantees immunity from ransomware. This makes regular backing up of files and data stores an essential tactic. Our ransomware resilience service will take a close look at your existing back up policy and capabilities to ensure that a) they are workable in the real world and b) they adequately protect you from ransomware variants designed to target connected backup systems
We secure your infrastructure from the ground up to frustrate attackers at every turn
We are big believers in the ‘assume breach’ mentality, and find clients who we support on such journeys embracing this approach are often more resilient to cyber-attacks than those who assume they are secure. This mindset helps if an attacker has successfully breached your defences, as the best practices we will have put in place will frustrate and limit them at every turn. Our deployment of deception traps, zero-trust access controls, comprehensive securing of your infrastructure, and strategic segmentation of network zones to prevent ransomware from moving around will all help you to detect, isolate, eradicate, recover and learn from the incident.
Just as a skilled tailor crafts each garment to perfectly suit their clients requirements and preferences, our approach to ransomware resilience is similarly bespoke. The IT infrastructure of every business is structured differently, and every business has different risk profiles, so you will have unique needs and objectives. We will never force you into a mould that doesn’t align. Instead, we meticulously tailor each engagement to cater specifically to your situation and budget.
