Ransomware Protection

Ransomware - keeping risks under control:
How secure are your IT systems?

  • Ransomware protection protects critical business data and ensures that critical business processes are not disrupted in the event of an attack.
  • Effective ransomware protection helps you meet data protection and IT security requirements.
  • Prevention is more cost-effective than the cost of recovering from a successful attack.

Ransomware:
What is it and why should you protect yourself against it?

Ransomware is a type of malicious software (malware) designed to block access to a computer system or specific data by encrypting the data or locking the system. The attacker then demands a ransom, often in the form of cryptocurrency, to restore access or decrypt the data.

Ransomware not only causes high financial losses due to ransom demands and recovery costs, but also reputational damage and legal consequences. Effective protection is therefore essential to minimise financial, legal and operational risks.

The result:
Protection & integrity of corporate data

  • Data and operational security: Avoiding business disruption and protecting data integrity and availability.

  • Minimise financial and reputational damage: Protect against financial loss and maintain the trust of customers and partners.

  • Legal certainty: Avoid legal consequences and comply with privacy and security requirements.

Ransomware measures

Preventive measures are the best defence against ransomware attacks. They should be implemented as soon as possible and reviewed regularly. Preventive measures include:

  • Implementing robust firewalls and intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS);
  • Regular updates and patch management for operating systems and applications;
  • Conducting regular security training and awareness programmes for employees to sensitise them to phishing attacks;
  • Use of anti-virus and anti-malware software on all devices;
  • Good segregation and separation of different system and network areas;
  • Comprehensive logging;
  • Regular security audits and penetration tests to identify vulnerabilities.
  • Our experts analyse your existing security measures and develop bespoke strategies to identify and close potential points of attack.

Immediate action in the event of a ransomware attack

Immediate action can minimise the impact and enable rapid recovery of your data. Actions during an attack include:

  • Immediately isolating infected systems to stop the spread of ransomware;
  • Analysis of the attack to determine the cause and identify further vulnerabilities;
  • Recovering data from backups or using decryption tools, if available;
  • Work with authorities and forensic experts to investigate the incident and bring the perpetrators to justice;
  • Legally required actions such as reporting to the relevant authorities and possibly partners and affected individuals.
  • In the event of an attack, we are ready to take immediate action. We can provide you with essential containment steps, help you select a forensic team, and implement
  • data protection and IT security measures.

Post-attack support

In the aftermath of an attack, we help you with structured follow-up and implementation of lessons learned. We help you to continuously improve your security and compliance levels through regular assessments and improvements within Plan-Do-Check-Act cycles.

Independent second opinion

If your cyber insurance or other external partners provide a forensic team to investigate the attack, we can provide an independent assessment. We review the causes and impact of an attack to provide you with an unbiased assessment and recommendations for action.
