Ransomware Response & Recovery Services

Stabilize quickly. Recover cleanly.

Response Focused on Containment, Evidence, & Restoration

Ransomware operations chain multiple tactics—initial access, privilege escalation, lateral movement, EDR/backup tampering, data staging/exfiltration, and encryption. Forgepath orchestrates response across those phases: safe containment that preserves evidence, forensic collection and analysis to establish root cause and scope, and recovery sequencing that prevents reinfection and gets critical services online in the right order.

We work across endpoints and servers, identity platforms, on-prem and cloud workloads, and backup/DR tooling. Deliverables include a working timeline, IOC/IOA packages, containment and eradication steps, data-at-risk summary, and clean rebuild/restore guidance aligned to your environment and business priorities.

Stop spread. Protect data.

Inside Your Ransomware Response Service

From the first call through restoration, we turn uncertainty into a documented plan—decisions, evidence, and actions your teams can execute.

Talk to An Expert

Stabilize the situation—safely.

Approach: isolate systems, throttle protocols, revoke risky sessions/tokens, and apply least-privilege changes with rollback paths.
Why it matters: aggressive “wipe and hope” removes artifacts needed for root cause and legal/compliance obligations.

Facts drive the narrative.

What we do: collect memory/disk/cloud artifacts, analyze encryption tooling, registry/service changes, and backup/EDR tamper events.
Outputs: unified timeline, IOC/IOA sets, and affected systems map to guide eradication and notifications.

Make recovery reliable.

What we do: evaluate backup scope, immutability, and access controls; identify clean restore points; test sample restores for key services and identity stores.
Outputs: ordered recovery plan with prerequisites, validation checks, and owner assignments.

Answer leadership’s hardest questions.

What we do: assess potential exfiltration and impacted data classes; correlate with logs and staging behavior.
Outputs: data-at-risk summary suitable for counsel and customer discussions; guidance on evidence retention.

Remove footholds—and keep them out.

Actions: credential and key rotations, persistence dismantling, policy corrections (EDR tamper protection, backup admin hardening), and segmentation improvements for east–west controls.
Outcome: fewer paths back in, better visibility, and reduced blast radius.

Clarity for executives, engineers, and partners.

Cadence: timestamped updates and decision logs.
Artifacts: concise briefs, stakeholder one-pagers, and reusable comms templates aligned with legal/privacy.
