Ransomware Resilience
Prevent, detect, and recover from ransomware attacks. Complete protection for your business.
22 Days Average Downtime After a Ransomware Attack
Only 65% of data is recovered after paying the ransom — and paying doesn't guarantee you won't be hit again. Ransomware operators now use double extortion: encrypt your data AND threaten to leak it. Prevention alone isn't enough. You need a defense-in-depth strategy that assumes breach and ensures recovery regardless of what gets through.
The Ransomware Reality
Understanding the threat is the first step to resilience
Average Downtime
Business operations disrupted
Average Ransom
And paying doesn't guarantee recovery
Recovery Target
With CMTG immutable backup strategy
Data Recovery
With immutable, air-gapped backups
Defense-in-Depth Ransomware Protection
🛡️ Prevention
Advanced endpoint protection with Microsoft Defender, email security with anti-phishing, and attack surface reduction rules that block ransomware execution paths.
🔍 Detection
24/7 SOC monitoring with behavioral analytics that detect ransomware indicators before encryption begins. Automated isolation of compromised endpoints.
💾 Immutable Backups
Air-gapped, immutable backups that ransomware cannot encrypt or delete. 3-2-1 backup strategy with offsite and cloud copies verified daily.
🔄 Rapid Recovery
Documented recovery procedures with tested runbooks. Clean-room recovery environments ready to activate. 4-hour RTO for critical systems.
🎯 Incident Response
Dedicated IR team with forensic capabilities. Containment, eradication, and evidence preservation for law enforcement and insurance claims.
📋 Tabletop Exercises
Quarterly ransomware simulations that test your team's response. Identify gaps in your playbook before a real attack exposes them.
Prevention Alone Isn't Enough
Most security vendors focus on preventing ransomware. That's necessary but insufficient. Sophisticated attacks will eventually get through. CMTG builds resilience across every layer — so when prevention fails, detection catches it. When detection is bypassed, recovery saves you.
- ✅ Prevent — Block 99%+ of attacks at the perimeter and endpoint
- ✅ Detect — Catch the 1% that gets through within minutes
- ✅ Contain — Isolate compromised systems automatically
- ✅ Recover — Restore from immutable backups in hours, not weeks
- ✅ Improve — Post-incident analysis strengthens every layer

Frequently Asked Questions
Should we pay the ransom if we're attacked?
We strongly advise against it. Only 65% of data is typically recovered after payment, and paying funds criminal operations. With proper immutable backups and tested recovery procedures, you shouldn't need to consider payment. Our goal is to make the ransom irrelevant.
What are immutable backups?
Immutable backups cannot be modified or deleted once created — even by administrators. This means ransomware cannot encrypt or destroy them. Combined with air-gapped storage (physically separated from your network), your recovery point is always protected.
How often should we test our recovery procedures?
We conduct quarterly tabletop exercises and semi-annual full recovery drills. Backup integrity is verified daily through automated checks. An untested backup is an unreliable backup — we never assume recovery works without proving it.
Will our cyber insurance cover a ransomware attack?
Insurance policies increasingly require evidence of security controls — MFA, endpoint protection, backup procedures, and incident response plans. Our ransomware resilience program meets or exceeds typical insurance requirements. We provide documentation for your carrier.
How quickly can you recover our systems?
Our target is 4-hour recovery time for critical systems. This is achieved through pre-staged clean-room environments, verified immutable backups, and documented runbooks that our team executes immediately upon declaration of an incident.
