Ransomware Protection for Businesses

We shield you before, during and after the attack: prevention, 24/7 response and recovery without paying.

Effective ransomware protection is not a product, it’s a chain: prevention, detection and 24/7 response from our Spartan SOC, and recovery from backups the attacker can’t touch. In Madrid and across Spain: if you haven’t been attacked yet, we prevent it; if it has already happened, we contain the attack and recover your operations.

[ THE PROBLEM ]

It’s Not If You’ll Be Attacked, but When

Ransomware is no longer just for large multinationals. Attackers operate like a business: they rent the malware to affiliates, automate the entry and go after anyone with an open door, whatever their size. In Spain cases keep growing, and the real damage is almost never the ransom: it’s the company shut down for days or weeks, your clients’ data leaked and trust broken.

Double Extortion

They steal your data before encrypting it and threaten to publish it if you don’t pay.

Triple Extortion

They contact your clients and suppliers directly to pressure you.

Paying is not a solution: it finances crime, doesn’t guarantee you recover the data and marks you as a target for the next attack.

[ WHY YOU’RE NOT PROTECTED TODAY ]

"I Have Antivirus and Backup" Is Not a Plan

The problem is that those pieces work separately and nobody watches them at 3 in the morning, which is exactly when the attack comes in. Real ransomware protection is not a product, it’s a chain that must work complete and coordinated. That is exactly what we integrate under LINKA SHIELD ONE®, operated 24/7 by our Spartan SOC.

[ HOW WE PROTECT YOU ]

Ransomware Protection in Three Layers

01

Prevention: We Close the Doors

Next-generation EDR/XDR with automatic containment of the malicious process
Perimeter firewall, microsegmentation and ZTNA so an infected device doesn’t contaminate the network
Email protection, the #1 entry route, with advanced anti-phishing
MFA on all critical and remote access
Team awareness: your people as the first firewall
02

Detection & Response 24/7

Continuous monitoring with SIEM and our own analysts, 24 hours a day
Anomalous behavior detection (UEBA) to catch the attack before encryption
Immediate isolation of the compromised device, containment in minutes
Proactive threat hunting and AI-orchestrated response
03

Recovery Without Paying

Managed, encrypted and immutable backups: the attacker can’t delete or encrypt them
A tested disaster recovery plan (DRS), with defined times
3-2-1 rule as a baseline: your data replicated and out of the attack’s reach

ANTI-RANSOMWARE PROTECTION CHAIN
[ YOUR ROADMAP ]

From Risk to Resilience

Each layer reduces the probability and impact: we close the doors, watch tirelessly, contain in minutes and, if all else fails, recover your operations from backups the attacker can’t touch.

3-2-1

Three copies, on two media, one off the network. With immutability, your guarantee of recovering without paying.

Every Minute Counts: Incident Response

If encryption has already started, the first hours are decisive. Our incident response team acts immediately:

Containment: we isolate the affected systems to stop the spread.
Evidence preservation: we keep the volatile memory and chain of custody, because that’s where the proof of who got in and how lives.
Eradication and recovery: we remove the threat and restore from clean, verified backups.
Computer forensics judicial: informe con validez legal para tu denuncia, tu ciberseguro y las autoridades.
Lessons learned: we close the hole they came in through so it doesn’t happen again.
THE FIRST MISTAKE TO AVOID

No apagues los ordenadores.

Isolate the network from the internet, don’t touch anything and call us. The evidence that saves your complaint and your cyber insurance is in those machines’ memory.

Ransomware is the reason half of NIS2 exists: the directive requires incident management with 24/72-hour notification, backups, business continuity and tested response plans. Protecting yourself against ransomware is, in large part, complying with NIS2. See how we comply with NIS2

[ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ]

We Answer Your Questions

Should I pay the ransom if I’m attacked?+

It is not advisable. Paying finances crime, doesn’t guarantee you recover the data and turns you into a target for new attacks. With immutable backups and a professional response, in most cases operations are recovered without paying.

My files have just been encrypted, what do I do right now?+

Don’t turn off the computers: you’d lose critical evidence in memory. Disconnect them from the network to stop the spread, don’t delete or restore anything yet, and call our 24/7 response team. Every minute counts.

Isn’t an antivirus enough?+

No. Modern ransomware evades traditional antivirus. You need EDR/XDR with automatic containment, 24/7 monitoring that detects the attack in its early phase and immutable backups to recover. The three layers, coordinated.

What is an immutable backup?+

A copy that, once written, cannot be modified or deleted for a defined period, not even by an administrator or the attacker. It is your guarantee of being able to recover without paying.

How long does it take to recover operations?+

It depends on the scope of the attack and your prior recovery plan. With immutable backups and a tested DRS, we’re talking hours or a few days; without preparation, weeks. That’s why prevention is far cheaper than recovery.
