Initial access denial
Hardened email, MFA everywhere remote access exists, and patching for internet-facing systems that still get neglected.

Solutions · Ransomware protection
Stop encryption.
Survive if it starts.
Ransomware succeeds when prevention, detection, and recovery are treated as separate projects. CyberSafe builds a layered programme so attackers lose easy paths in — and you retain a way out if they get through.
Why it persists
Ransomware is an operations problem
Modern ransomware crews do not rely on a single exploit. They phish credentials, abuse remote access, disable backups, and move laterally until encryption or data theft forces a negotiation. Buying another endpoint product alone does not address the identity gaps, flat networks, and untested restores that make those campaigns profitable.
We treat ransomware as a business continuity threat. Controls are chosen for how they interrupt common kill chains, detection is tuned for early signs of staging and privilege abuse, and recovery is proven under time pressure — not assumed from a green backup job icon.
- Identity
- Least privilege
- Verify
Capabilities
Four layers that matter
Prevention reduces likelihood. Detection shortens dwell time. Recovery limits blast radius.
Privilege containment
Admin rights limited, local admin removed where possible, and service accounts audited so one stolen credential is not domain-wide.
02
Blast-radius limits
Segmentation and access paths that stop encryptors from walking the entire estate in hours.
03
Restore under fire
Immutable or offline backup copies, documented restore order, and drills that reveal gaps before an attacker does.
04
Process
How we reduce ransomware risk
A sequence from exposure to rehearsed recovery.
- 01
Expose the path
Map likely entry points, privileged paths, and backup dependency chains.
- 02
Close easy wins
MFA, email controls, exposed RDP/VPN hygiene, and EDR coverage gaps.
- 03
Segment & isolate
Protect domain controllers, backup infrastructure, and crown-jewel networks.
- 04
Detect staging
Watch for credential dumping, unusual admin tools, and mass file access patterns.
- 05
Rehearse recovery
Tabletops and restore tests with clear decision rights for payment and disclosure.
At a glance
Threats vs. CyberSafe responses
How ransomware campaigns unfold
- Credential phishing leading to mailbox and VPN access
- Disabled or deleted backups before encryption begins
- Living-off-the-land tools that blend into admin activity
- Double extortion via stolen data even if restores succeed
- Weekend and holiday attacks when staff coverage is thin
How CyberSafe responds
- Identity and email hardening with phishing-resistant MFA where feasible
- Backup architecture review and restore verification
- Endpoint and identity telemetry tuned for staging behaviours
- Incident playbooks covering containment, forensics, and communications
- On-call response support when an active campaign is suspected
Capabilities
Programme building blocks
Combine what you already own with the missing operating pieces.
Hardened baseline
Endpoints, identity, and email configured to interrupt commodity ransomware paths.
01
Early warning
Detection focused on privilege abuse and encryption precursors, not noise.
02
Rapid containment
Isolation steps and decision trees ready before the first encrypted share appears.
03
Business restart
Prioritised restore sequences so revenue and safety systems return first.
04
Reduce ransomware risk before the next campaign
We start with your entry points and backup reality — then build the layers your environment is missing.
