TechTarget: Ransomware attack case study: Recovery can be painful

Several years ago, seasoned IT consultant David Macias visited a new client’s website and watched in horror as it started automatically downloading ransomware before his eyes. He quickly unplugged his computer from the rest of the network, but not before the malware had encrypted 3 TB of data in a matter of seconds.

“I just couldn’t believe it,” said Macias, president and owner of ITRMS, a managed service provider in Riverside, Calif. “I’m an IT person, and I am [incredibly careful] about my security. I thought, ‘How can this be happening to me?’ I wasn’t online gambling or shopping or going to any of the places you typically find this kind of stuff. I was just going to a website to help out a client, and bingo — I got hit.”

Blog: Next Generation Ransomware Recovery

The FBI says ransomware is the fastest growing cyberthreat they track, with more than 4,000 ransomware attacks every day . Their advice is simple: Take steps to prevent ransomware attacks in the first place and create a rock-solid plan to recover from attacks should they occur.

The first step is relatively easy – most organizations deploy endpoint protection and train staff about phishing software. The second step — recovering from a ransomware attack — is where organizations struggle. Once ransomware bypasses the existing security measures and encrypts data it can be extremely time consuming and costly to recover, even with a backup.

Thus, we see that endpoint security and backup products are very important, but they do not fully protect against ransomware. What organizations need is a solution that is simple to manage and deploy and that offers nearly instantaneous recovery.

In this article we talk about endpoint security software and backup software, how they work, what their weaknesses are and how NeuShield can fill these gaps.
