How to Recover from a Ransomware Attack
Reduce downtime & reduce data loss
Evaluation
When your computer is infected with ransomware, it encrypts your files and demands that you pay a ransom to get them back. To help you recover your data, we need to figure out which ransomware infected your computer. We do this by analyzing the ransom note or an encrypted file. This helps us determine if there is a publicly known decryptor. This is done through our network of cybersecurity professionals, researchers, and partners.
Recovery
In ransomware recovery, SalvageData's team assists with exploring backup restoration options by checking for data restoration possibilities, file versioning, and malware presence in backups. We also attempt to use publicly known decryptors, and, if not available we can reverse engineer the malware to exploit vulnerabilities and find private keys for decryption. Lastly, if no public decryptor is available, we explore cyber extortion negotiation tactics to potentially decrease ransom demands while assessing the likelihood of successful decryption.
Reporting
Once the decryption process is successful, the team will transfer all decrypted files to sterile storage media, providing you with a clean and secure copy of your recovered data. We can also assist in removing ransomware malware from the original media, ensuring that your devices are clean and safe for reuse, even formatting if necessary. And finally, you can choose to request a cyber attack report and forensic investigation service. These comprehensive services aim to provide a seamless recovery experience, helping organizations return to normal operations as quickly and efficiently as possible.
