The Dangers of Paying Ransomware Criminals
Paying organized cybercriminials is risky business and by no means guarantees a good outcome. And in most cases multiple layers of encryptions are present at the same time.
-
Paying often doesn’t result in recovery
-
Often the cybercriminals encrypt multiple sections so that paying the ransom unlocks only some of your data making you have to keep paying and keeping them in control
We Will Prevent Future Attacks
Did you know that most companies infected by ransomware are attacked again within a year. This is called Advanced Peristent Threat (ATP), a technique where cybercriminals plant the seeds of the next attack. Our methods ensure battle tested and cost-effective strategies are implemented across your systems.

Endpoint protection & response
Case Study 1 – Professional Services Under Siege
A mid-sized Montreal professional firm found all client files suddenly encrypted with a ransom note demanding Bitcoin. With segmented backups, updated endpoint protection, and a tested incident-response plan, within hours, we isolated infected machines, restored clean backups, and informed clients transparently. No ransom was paid, and operations resumed in two days – the companies data, and client trust both remained intact.
Case Study 2 – Manufacturing Facility Rescue
Our team was called in when a regional manufacturer’s production servers and networks were hit with aggressive ransomware overnight. Our response team immediately cut off network access, switched production to unaffected systems, and brought in forensic experts. Since poorly protected back-ups set up by another vendor were infected, our team had tow work in phases, closing the vulnerabilities while carefully assessing the path of the infection. With our team in place, the company avoided ransom payment, and was back at full capacity within a week, with their data and systems restored and improved security policies in place.
