Ransomware first responders
You’ve suffered a ransomware attack and need help
How do you negotiate with the attacker, restore your systems, and recover after the incident?
With over 25 years experience investigating cyber incidents, STORM Guidance helps businesses affected by cybercrime to coordinate an immediate and quality technical response. As part of this service, our ransomware specialists will perform a technical forensic investigation for the recovery of IT and coordinate expert ransomware negotiation to minimise loss. Alternatively, STORM provides individual aspects of our ransomware response service, propping up your existing teams.
What we do
When your business has suffered a breach, acting fast can be the difference between recovery and disaster.
You will need to secure a stable position with intelligence-based analysis of your risk and formulate tactical options to minimise loss. We work with clients and their legal advisors to obtain a clear picture of potential impact and how best to respond.
Recovery
Our Ransomware First Responders will obtain the best position possible and drive the best attainable outcome.
STORM specialists determine what data has been encrypted, the path they took to gain entry, and negotiate with extortionists to recover it, enabling you the space to focus on internal recovery.
