If your network gets infected with ransomware, follow the steps below to recover essential data:

Step 1:Do notpay the ransom because there is no guarantee that the ransomware creators will give you access to your data.

Step 2: Find any available backups you have, and consider keeping your data backups in secure, off-site locations.

Step 3: If there are no backups, you have to try decrypting the data locked by ransomware using the best ransomware decryption tools available.

In this anti-ransomware guide, we included these free decryption tools you can use to avoid all types of malware.

How to identify the ransomware you’ve been infected with

Oftentimes, the ransom note provides details about the type of ransomware your files have been encrypted with, but it can happen that you don’t have this information at hand. Readers have asked us to show which encryption extensions belong to which ransomware families. Many of these extensions signaled new types of encrypting malware, for which there are no decryptors available.

If you need help with identifying what type of ransomware is affecting your system, you can use these two tools below:

Explanation of ransomware families and tools for decryption

As you may have noticed, some of these ransomware decryption tools work for multiple ransomware families, while certain strains have more than one solution (although this is rarely the case).

From a practical perspective, some of the decryptors are easy to use, but some require some technical know-how. As much as we’d want this process to be easier, it doesn’t always happen.

No matter how much work and time researchers put into reverse engineering cryptoware, the truth is that we’ll never have a solution to all of these infections. It would take an army of cybersecurity specialists working around the clock to get something like this done.

How to avoid ransomware in the future

One of the most efficient ways to prevent the threat of ransomware from wreaking havoc and locking your sensitive data is to remain vigilant and be proactive.

In fact, we strongly recommend you to apply these basic and simple steps we outlined in the anti-ransomware security plan, that can help you prevent this type of cyber attack.

Safely keeping copies of vital information offline and equippingyour company with cyber-insurance should be your enterprise’s main priorities. Even if cybercriminals get access to your computers and infect them with malware, you can just wipe the system clean and restore your latest backup. No money lost and, most importantly, no important information compromised!

So, please, do not postpone the process of doing a backup of your data and ensuring its security as well. Not tomorrow, not this weekend, not next week. Do it NOW!

Also, it helps to raise awareness on this topic and share the basics of proactive protection with your employees, because it could prevent them from being a ransomware victim, which secures your company’s network in the process as well.

As new types of ransomware emerge, researchers decrypt some strains, but others get new variants, and it may look like a cat and mouse game, in which proactivity is vital. Paying the ransom never guarantees you actually get your data back, as it might still end up for sale on the Dark Web.

Therefore, prevention remains the best medicine as always. Thor Foresight Enterprise protects your network against ransomware and data exfiltration with proprietary DarkLayer Guard™ & VectorN Detection technology that spots and stops threats at the DNS, HTTP, and HTTPs layers. Ransomware operators won’t stand a chance.

Antivirus is no longer enough to keep an organization’s systems secure.
