Ransomware protection in Singapore, stop it before it starts
Ransomware is the threat that keeps business owners up at night, and for good reason. One wrong click can lock up every file in your business, halt your operations, and leave you facing a ransom demand with no guarantee you get your data back even if you pay. The damage runs into downtime, lost data, lost trust and serious cost. The best protection by far is to stop it ever taking hold, and that is where CARE focuses first: building the defences that keep ransomware out, and the safety net that gets you back if it ever gets in.
As a CSA-licensed, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified cybersecurity provider, we protect Singapore businesses against ransomware with layered, proven defences, and we are there to handle the situation if you are ever hit. Prevention first, with expert response ready if you need it.
How we protect your business from ransomware
Ransomware almost always gets in through a gap that could have been closed. Our protection works in layers, so if one defence is bypassed, others stand behind it:
- Patching and updates. Most ransomware exploits known, unpatched weaknesses. Our SecurePatch service keeps your systems current so those gaps are closed.
- Advanced threat detection. Endpoint protection that recognises and stops ransomware behaviour before it can spread across your network.
- Email and web protection. Since most attacks arrive by email, we filter out the phishing and malicious attachments that start them.
- Firewall and network defence. A properly configured firewall and segmented network to keep an infection from spreading.
- Round-the-clock monitoring. Continuous watching through our SOC, plus helping your people spot the attacks that target them.
CARE Ransomware Protect: backup that ransomware cannot touch
The single most important thing standing between a ransomware attack and a disaster is a backup the attackers cannot reach. Modern ransomware deliberately hunts down and destroys backups before it strikes, which is exactly why ordinary backups are not enough on their own. Our CARE Ransomware Protect solution is built for this. A secure agent deployed in your business continuously backs your data up to CARE's own hardened cloud, kept completely separate from your network, where it is held in protected, immutable storage that ransomware cannot encrypt, alter or delete.
Because the backups live in CARE's own protected cloud rather than on your premises or inside your network, an attack that locks up your systems simply cannot reach them. If the worst happens, your clean data is sitting safely outside the blast radius, ready to restore, so you recover on your terms instead of an attacker's. It is a fully managed service that we run and monitor for you, so you are never relying on backups quietly failing in the background. This is one of the most effective safeguards a business can put in place against ransomware, and one of the reasons our clients sleep better at night.
If the worst happens, we handle it
Even well-defended businesses can be caught out, and when ransomware hits, what you need is a calm, experienced team taking control, not panic. CARE provides full incident response to get you through it and back on your feet:
- Incident response and containment. We move fast to isolate affected systems and stop the ransomware spreading further through your network.
- Attacker negotiation. Where it is the right course for your situation, our experienced team manages all communication with the attackers on your behalf, handling the negotiation professionally to work toward the best possible outcome for your business and reduce what is demanded.
- Decryption and removal. We work to recover access to your data, then thoroughly remove the ransomware and any traces of it from your systems to prevent reinfection.
- System restoration and recovery. Our team restores your systems and data and gets you operational again as quickly as possible, drawing on our data recovery expertise to minimise downtime.
- Hardening against the next time. Being hit once makes you a target again. After recovery we close the gaps that let it happen, so you come out of it stronger.
Why CARE for ransomware
- Properly credentialed. CSA-licensed and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, so your defence is built to real standards.
- Ransomware-proof backup. Our managed, immutable backup to CARE's own hardened cloud means a clean copy of your data is always beyond an attacker's reach.
- Prevention and response under one roof. The team that protects you is the same team that gets you through an incident, with no scrambling for help mid-crisis.
- Real recovery experience. We have helped many businesses through ransomware incidents and back to working order.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best protection against ransomware?
Layered prevention backed by a backup attackers cannot reach. Keeping systems patched, filtering email, stopping ransomware at the endpoint, and holding immutable backups in a separate hardened cloud means most attacks never take hold, and even a successful one does not have to be a disaster.
How is CARE Ransomware Protect different from normal backup?
Ordinary backups often sit on your network, where ransomware can find and destroy them. Our solution backs your data up to CARE's own hardened cloud, separate from your network, in immutable storage that cannot be encrypted or deleted by an attacker. So your clean data survives even if everything else is hit.
We have been hit by ransomware. Can you help right now?
Yes. We provide incident response: containing the attack, managing the situation including any negotiation with attackers, working to recover your data, removing the ransomware, and restoring your systems. Contact us as soon as possible, and avoid powering systems on and off in the meantime.
Should we pay the ransom?
It is rarely the first or best option, and there is never a guarantee paying gets your data back. Our role is to give you experienced, clear-headed guidance on the best course for your situation, manage it professionally on your behalf, and focus on recovering your data and operations, ideally from a clean backup the attacker never touched.
Can you protect us if we already use another IT provider?
Yes. We can assess your current ransomware defences and strengthen them, add our ransomware-proof backup, or take over protection entirely as part of our managed security services.
Do not wait until you are locked out of your own business. Talk to CARE about protecting against ransomware, or call us straight away if you are dealing with an attack now.
