How Organizations Recover Following a Ransomware Attack

August 21, 2018Simeon Georgiev

Ransomware is an unfortunate reality of the current digital landscape. Organizations and individuals are equally vulnerable to the mischief of cryptovirological operators. But they mostly target the former for more material gains. Amid the prevalence of ransomware attacks, companies and government organizations have started to take two particular measures in order to prevent ransomware attacks.

  • They train the staff regarding social engineering tactics (phishing emails, social media interactions etc), which are usually used to deliver cryptovirological payloads.
  • Many organizations set up a continuous intrusion detection scanning of the network to identify any dormant malware. These software programs generally detect an anomaly at the onset of payload delivery. This measure, if applied efficiently, makes ransomware removal measures more effective.

Unfortunately, both of these measures don’t guarantee an absolute prevention of ransomware attacks. For instance, awareness workshops regarding social engineering don’t yield the desired results because the staff loses the interest after a while. Similarly, the majority of the scanning systems are rendered useless because of the unpredictable nature of attack vectors. We have discussed it quite often how quickly cryptovirological operators develop new variants of the already existing strains.

For the aforementioned limitations, it is imperative for organizations to develop a strategy to restrain the destruction of ransomware in cases preventive measures don’t work.

Focus on Multiple Storage Options

Data is the principal target of the majority of ransomware assaults. So, make sure you protect your operations from complete data blackouts by establishing multiple storage protocols. The cloud is considered the most popular option in cybersecurity circles, but there are some other storage options as well that we will discuss in the next blogs.

Have a Skilled Ransomware Removal Team on Board

To prevent extended downtimes, you must have skilled individuals on board that are able to execute ransomware removal in the least possible time.
