Ransomware Protection and Recovery Services
Prevent, detect, and recover from ransomware attacks with PTG's layered defense strategy and battle-tested incident response team.
Prevention and Detection
Stop ransomware before it strikes and catch intrusions during the critical dwell period before encryption deploys.
Prevention Controls
- Advanced email security blocks phishing, malicious attachments, and weaponized URLs
- Endpoint detection and response stops ransomware behavior at the device level
- MFA across all critical systems prevents credential-based access
- Network segmentation limits lateral movement after initial breach
- Security awareness training teaches employees to spot phishing
Detection Capabilities
- 24/7 AI-powered monitoring detects pre-encryption indicators
- Network traffic analysis catches command-and-control communications
- Endpoint behavioral analysis identifies suspicious process activity
- Dark web monitoring for mentions of your organization
- Privileged access management protects admin accounts
Complete Ransomware Resilience
From readiness assessments to full incident recovery, every angle covered.
Ransomware Readiness Assessment
Evaluate your prevention, detection, response, and recovery capabilities against real-world attack scenarios.
Incident Response
Immediate isolation of affected systems, variant identification, forensic evidence preservation, and coordinated recovery.
Ransomware-Resilient Backups
Immutable and air-gapped backup copies that survive even if attackers gain admin privileges on your network.
System Recovery
Restore from clean backups, rebuild compromised systems, verify data integrity, and harden defenses against reinfection.
39-Layer ZeroHack Stack
Our proprietary defense-in-depth methodology addresses ransomware at every stage of the attack lifecycle.
Insurance Coordination
Work directly with your cyber insurance carrier and legal counsel throughout the claims and response process.
Before and After PTG
No Tested Recovery Plan
Backups exist but have never been tested. Recovery time is unknown and likely measured in weeks.
Single Extortion Risk
No data loss prevention. Attackers can steal data before encrypting, enabling double and triple extortion.
Reactive Security Posture
No monitoring for pre-encryption indicators. Ransomware discovered only after files are already encrypted.
Verified Recovery in Hours
Regular backup testing confirms data recoverability. Recovery time objectives are defined and met.
Defense Against All Extortion Types
Network segmentation, DLP controls, and monitoring prevent data exfiltration alongside encryption defense.
Proactive Threat Detection
24/7 monitoring catches credential harvesting, lateral movement, and backup tampering before encryption deploys.
When Ransomware Is Detected
Isolate affected systems to prevent spread
Identify ransomware variant and assess scope
Preserve forensic evidence for investigation
Assess decryption options and recovery paths
Restore from clean, verified backups
Harden defenses to prevent reinfection

Frequently Asked Questions
Can ransomware be prevented completely?
No single control is 100% effective, but a comprehensive layered defense significantly reduces the likelihood of a successful attack. Our 39-layer approach addresses ransomware at every stage, from blocking initial access to detecting pre-encryption activity to ensuring rapid recovery.
What should we do if we discover ransomware on our network?
Call us immediately at 919-348-4912. Disconnect affected systems from the network if possible, but do not power them off. Do not attempt remediation yourself as this can destroy forensic evidence. Document what you observed and contact your cyber insurance carrier.
How often should we test our backups?
We recommend testing backup restoration at least monthly for critical systems and quarterly for all systems. Many organizations discover during an actual incident that their backups have been failing silently for months.
Does cyber insurance cover ransomware attacks?
Most cyber insurance policies cover ransomware-related costs including incident response, forensic investigation, data recovery, and business interruption. However, many carriers now require specific security controls as a condition of coverage. We help you understand your coverage and work with your carrier throughout the claims process.
Should we pay the ransom?
We always explore all recovery options before considering ransom payment. In many cases, we can recover data without paying. If payment is considered, we provide objective guidance about the risks, legal implications, and likelihood of successful decryption.
