Our expertise extends to optimizing cyber insurance coverage, enabling you to fortify your security posture to minimize premiums.With extensive network and storage infrastructure knowledge, we bolster your defense against ransomware and ensure robust recovery capabilities. With three Security Operations Centers strategically located throughout North America, we offer ‘Eyes on Glass’ Threat Hunting and Threat Intelligence Correlation for unparalleled protection. By combining our specialized services with the proactive measures, your organization can significantly reduce the risk of falling victim to ransomware attacks.
Password Reset
Enforce a policy that mandates IT staff with admin privileges to reset their passwords only through direct approval from IT management.
Identity verification such as employee number, birthday, calling a person back on a known phone number, in-person visits, etc.
Establish a cybersecurity training program for employees—especially those with the ability to reset passwords such as help desk staff—to recognize and report phishing and social engineering attempts.
Microsoft Endpoint / Server / Cloud Security
Enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all user accounts to prevent unauthorized access.
Implement Just-In-Time (JIT) administration for administrative tasks.
Implement least privilege access control policies to limit admin account privileges and reduce the attack surface.
Secure Data Center Virtualization / Storage / Backup
Regularly back up virtualized data to immutable, secure storage to ensure data recovery options in case of an attack.
Maintain and test offline, immutable backups of critical data, ensuring they are not accessible to ransomware.
Maintain a physical and virtual instance for essential IT services such as domain controllers, DNS, and DHCP to ensure redundancy and minimize disruption in the event of a virtualization system compromise.
24/7 Monitoring / Security Operations Center (SOC)
Implement intrusion detection systems (IDS) and intrusion prevention systems (IPS) to block potential threats proactively.
Continuously monitor and audit your network, systems, and cloud environment for any unusual behavior such as IT global admin password resets.
Organizational Policy
Maintain backup local admin accounts (non-AD reliant) for your key IT systems such as hypervisors, network management systems, systems visibility, and IT provisioning tools. These backup local admin accounts should be as complex as possible and stored in either an out-of-band password manager or off-line vault that are only available in a ‘break glass’ scenario.
Develop an incident response plan that clearly defines roles and responsibilities in the event of a ransomware incident. This incident response plan should identify escalation paths for all technology recovery support in your environment as well as internal/external staffing requirements for recovery work in the event of a cyber incident.
Network Security
Segment your virtualized network to limit lateral movement for potential attackers.
Regularly update and patch all network devices and systems to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
