Ransomware Protection and Recovery for Houston Businesses
Ransomware shuts down businesses by locking their files. The best defense is layers that stop it and backups that make paying unnecessary. We build both.
What Ransomware Protection includes
Endpoint protection
Modern security software on every computer and server that detects ransomware behavior, not just known viruses.
Immutable and off-site backups
Copies attackers cannot encrypt or delete, stored away from your network.
Email and web protection
Blocks the phishing links and downloads that start most attacks.
Patching and hardening
Fixing the software weaknesses criminals exploit.
Multi-factor authentication
Stops attackers from using stolen passwords to get in.
Incident response
If something happens, we isolate affected systems and begin recovery from clean backups.
If you are hit
Disconnect the affected computers from the network, do not turn off other equipment, and call us right away. We act to contain the spread, find how the attacker got in and restore from backups. We cannot promise outcomes in every case, which is why prevention and tested backups matter most.
Common questions
How do I protect my business from ransomware?
Use layers: endpoint protection, email filtering, multi-factor authentication, patching, staff training and backups that attackers cannot reach. We provide and manage all of them.
What should I do first if I get ransomware?
Disconnect affected devices from the network and Wi-Fi, do not pay or reply to the attacker yet, and call your IT provider right away.
Can backups really save us from ransomware?
Yes, if they are off-site, protected from tampering and tested. They let you restore without paying.
Should we pay the ransom?
Paying does not guarantee you get your data back and may carry legal risk. Talk to your attorney and insurer, and we will tell you what recovery options exist first.
Does cyber insurance cover ransomware?
Some policies do, with conditions. Review yours with your insurance agent.
