Threat Readiness and Response
When an organization is targeted by ransomware or cyber extortion, it must quickly determine the extent of the attack, determine the response plan, and mitigate the impact. Our Threat Readiness and Response service helps organizations prepare for, quickly assess, and respond to a ransomware or cyber extortion attack.
Ransomware Readiness
Organizations must regularly test their plans and policies to ensure cyber threat readiness in the event of a cyber extortion, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), or ransomware attack. Flashpoint helps organizations evaluate and test their preparedness in the case of such an event.
Ransomware Response
Ransomware and extortion are responsible for billions of dollars in losses each year across industries. While some high-profile attacks and success stories reach the mainstream, they are a tiny percentage of the true number of incidents and actual payouts made to adversaries. Flashpoint helps teams navigate these incidents, providing tailored responses and recovery of internal systems and extensive monitoring within our expansive illicit community collections.
Assess and Respond to a Ransomware or Cyber Extortion Attack
Flashpoint works with your organization to develop contingencies in the event of an attack, including the establishment of a process to ensure that payments can be made securely and quickly, internal systems are recovered, and compromised data is returned.
Determine the Credibility of Attacker Claims
We evaluate the credibility of a suspected attacker’s claims and identify emerging threat-actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) involved with an incident.
Engage Safely in Negotiation and Safe Transactions
Our team engages with threat actors, conducts negotiations, and performs safe transactions without compromising your organization’s information.
