Ransomware Protection for Businesses
Ransomware attacks cost German companies an average of EUR 1.8 million with 21 days of downtime. With EDR, tested backups and automated monitoring around the clock we reduce your risk — and if the worst happens, a prepared recovery plan takes over.
Why Ransomware Protection?
Reduce the risk of encryption and extortion
Proactive Protection
Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) recognizes typical encryption behaviour and isolates affected endpoints automatically. The earlier the alert fires, the smaller the damage stays.
Secure Backups
3-2-1 backup strategy with air-gapped and immutable backups. Restores are tested regularly — so the backup isn't the surprise when it matters most.
Rapid Response
Automated immediate containment: affected endpoints are isolated by EDR before anyone picks up the phone. Containment, forensic analysis and communication are then handled by your dedicated contact within the agreed SLA window.
Structured Recovery
Professional restoration of your systems and data following a prepared recovery plan — aimed at keeping downtime short.
Email Security
Email is one of the most common entry points for ransomware. Multi-layered email security inspects attachments, links and senders before the message reaches the inbox.
Employee Training
Security awareness training and phishing simulations — your employees recognize ransomware attacks early.
Ransomware Defense
Endpoint Protection
Encryption Detection
Stop ransomware early — multi-layered protection
From endpoint detection to backup verification to the recovery plan — several layers of protection work together and reduce the risk of encryption and extortion.
Our Ransomware Protection Services
Multi-stage protection against encryption trojans
Endpoint Protection (EDR)
Modern EDR solutions monitor all endpoints in real time and stop ransomware through behavioral analysis.
Backup & Recovery
Immutable backups, automatic verification and tested recovery processes following the 3-2-1 rule.
Network Segmentation
Network segmentation confines the lateral spread of ransomware to individual segments instead of the whole network.
Patch Management
Automated patching of all systems — unpatched vulnerabilities are a primary entry point for ransomware.
Email Security Gateway
AI-based detection of phishing emails, malware attachments and suspicious links in real time.
24/7 SOC Monitoring
Automated detection of ransomware indicators around the clock: suspicious processes are isolated by EDR and reported immediately. Incident handling is taken over by your dedicated contact.
Emergency Plan & Playbooks
Documented ransomware response plan with clear escalation paths and recovery procedures.
Penetration Testing
Simulation of real ransomware attacks to test your defense capabilities and identify vulnerabilities.

Frequently asked questions
The questions we are asked most often before a project – with answers on process, costs and data protection.
How does a ransomware attack work?
Ransomware encrypts your company data and demands a ransom for decryption. Typical entry points are phishing emails, unpatched vulnerabilities or compromised RDP access. Modern ransomware also exfiltrates data and threatens to publish it (double extortion).
What does a ransomware attack cost a company?
According to the Sophos State of Ransomware Report (2024), the average cost of a ransomware attack is EUR 1.8 million for German companies — excluding any ransom payment. This includes business downtime, recovery, forensic analysis and reputational damage. According to Coveware, the average downtime in 2024 was around 21 days.
Which protective measures does NovaCon recommend against ransomware?
Our ransomware protection concept includes: Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR), regular backups following the 3-2-1 rule, network segmentation, patch management, email security with phishing protection, security awareness training for employees and a tested incident response plan.
