Cyber attack data recovery

Are you a victim of ransomware?

Databack and data recovery after a cyber attack

Ransomware indiscriminately targets all types of organization, whatever their status, size or sector of activity: SME/SMI, ETI or large corporations, local authorities, administrations, healthcare establishments…

Ransomware attack: encrypting your data

Also known as crypto-lockers, cryptoviruses or crypto-locking viruses, ransomware infects your storage media and encrypts your computer data, rendering it unreadable. The hackers behind their distribution will then seek to extort a ransom from their victim, usually in virtual currency, in exchange for a hypothetical decryption key.

The encryption of your data by ransomware will have a direct impact on your organization’s activity. This can range from downtime to outright interruption of production. The consequences of a ransomware attack will also affect your organization’s reputation, undermine the trust of your customers or users, and engage your legal liability in the event of a leak of personal or sensitive data.

Databack: recover your data after a cyberattack

Ransomware cyberattacks leave targeted organizations with few options. The first reflex is to pay the ransom… but this obvious option is in fact dangerous and inadvisable: it offers no guarantee of obtaining the decryption key and, on the contrary, encourages hackers to increase their demands and repeat their attacks…

Faced with the development of cybercrime, digital security players are offering prevention campaigns, information systems security, curative solutions… In conjunction with the launch of your BCP or DRP, the use of a specialized laboratory will enable you to optimize your chances of recovering your data after a cyberattack. Backed by the expertise of its engineers and equipped with a secure laboratory, Databack has developed emergency processes dedicated to the recovery of encrypted data.
