Systematic Threat Elimination — Hourly, Prepaid Engagements

Threat Remediation

When a cyber attack compromises your Microsoft 365 tenant, Google Workspace, web servers, endpoints, or remote access tools, containment is only the first step. LayerLogix provides systematic, platform-specific threat remediation — from rogue inbox rules and stolen OAuth tokens to ransomware-encrypted servers, browser hijacking, and deeply embedded backdoors. We eradicate every trace of the attacker, rotate all compromised credentials, validate clean state across your entire environment, and harden your infrastructure against re-entry. Remediation services are billed hourly with prepayment required before work begins.

What We Offer

Comprehensive solutions tailored for Houston-area businesses

Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace Remediation

Investigate and remediate compromised cloud environments — rogue inbox rules, OAuth app abuse, mailbox delegation hijacking, SharePoint/OneDrive data exfiltration, Gmail filter manipulation, unauthorized Entra ID app registrations, and Google Drive sharing abuse. We revoke all attacker access, reset compromised accounts, remove malicious forwarding rules, and validate tenant-wide security posture.

Complete Malware Eradication

Systematic removal of all malicious software — rootkits, trojans, RATs, infostealers, and ransomware remnants. We don't just quarantine threats; we eliminate every trace from every affected system. This includes hunting for secondary payloads, dormant implants, and fileless malware persisting in memory or WMI subscriptions.

Browser Hijacking & Token Manipulation

Remediate browser-based attacks including search engine hijacking, malicious extensions, DNS redirection, stolen session cookies, and authentication token theft. Attackers steal browser tokens to bypass MFA entirely — we identify every compromised session, revoke all tokens across Microsoft Entra ID, Google, and SaaS platforms, remove malicious extensions, and restore browser security baselines.

Remote Tool Compromise Cleanup

Investigate and remediate attacks exploiting ScreenConnect, AnyDesk, TeamViewer, and other remote access tools. Attackers use these tools to establish persistent backdoor access, create hidden admin accounts, deploy secondary payloads, and move laterally. We remove all unauthorized sessions, eliminate persistence mechanisms (scheduled tasks, registry keys, hidden services), and lock down remote access configurations.

Backdoor Removal & Credential Rotation

Attackers embed backdoors through scheduled tasks, registry modifications, hidden admin accounts, web shells, and modified system services. We hunt and remove every persistence mechanism, then force-reset every compromised credential — Active Directory accounts, service principals, API keys, VPN certificates, and cloud tokens. All active sessions are revoked and trust is re-established across your identity infrastructure.

Post-Ransomware Server & Website Recovery

Complete remediation of web servers, application servers, and databases after ransomware encryption. We validate backup integrity (checking for malware embedded in backup chains), perform clean-state server rebuilds from verified images, restore databases with transaction-level validation, remediate the vulnerability chain that allowed initial access, and re-deploy hardened applications with WAF protection and integrity monitoring.

Verified Clean State — Not Partial Cleanup

Incomplete remediation is the most common cause of reinfection. Our methodology verifies every system is clean before returning it to production, using IOC scanning, integrity verification, and behavioral baseline comparison across endpoints, cloud platforms, and network infrastructure.

Platform-Specific Expertise

Every remediation scenario is different. Office 365 compromise requires different techniques than a ScreenConnect exploitation, a browser token theft, or a ransomware-encrypted server. Our engineers have platform-specific runbooks for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, remote access tools, web servers, and network infrastructure.

Eliminated Reinfection Risk

We don't just remove what we find — we close the door that attackers used to get in, remove every persistence mechanism they planted, rotate all compromised credentials, and harden your environment against the same attack vector being used again.

Compliance-Ready Documentation

Every remediation step is documented with timestamps, evidence, and outcomes — providing the audit trail that HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ITAR, and cyber insurance providers require to demonstrate the incident was fully resolved and the environment is secure.

Transparent Hourly Pricing

Threat remediation services are billed hourly with prepayment required before work begins. You know exactly what you're paying, there are no surprise invoices, and we provide detailed time logs documenting every hour spent on your engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the prepaid hourly model work?▼

Threat remediation is billed at an hourly rate with prepayment required before work begins. After the initial scoping call, we provide an estimated hour range based on the scope of the compromise. You prepay for a block of hours, and we provide detailed time logs documenting exactly how each hour was spent. If the engagement requires fewer hours than estimated, the unused balance is refunded. If additional hours are needed, we communicate before proceeding.

How is threat remediation different from incident response?▼

Incident response focuses on the first hours of an active attack — containing the threat, stopping the bleeding, and preserving evidence. Threat remediation is what comes after: the systematic, thorough process of removing every trace of the attacker from your environment, rotating compromised credentials, validating clean state, and hardening against re-entry. Think of incident response as the emergency room and remediation as the surgery and rehabilitation that follows.

What types of Office 365 and Google Workspace compromises do you remediate?▼

We handle the full spectrum: business email compromise (BEC) with rogue inbox forwarding rules, OAuth app consent attacks where malicious apps gain persistent API access, mailbox delegation abuse, SharePoint/OneDrive data exfiltration, Gmail filter manipulation, Entra ID unauthorized app registrations, compromised admin accounts, and conditional access policy manipulation. Each scenario has a specific remediation runbook.

How do you handle browser token theft and session hijacking?▼

Browser token theft (often via infostealer malware like RedLine, Lumma, or Vidar) allows attackers to bypass MFA entirely by stealing authenticated session cookies. Our remediation includes identifying all compromised sessions across every platform, revoking refresh tokens in Microsoft Entra ID and Google Admin, invalidating all active sessions, removing infostealer malware from the endpoint, resetting browser profiles, and implementing conditional access policies that restrict token use to compliant devices.

What if our website or servers were encrypted by ransomware?▼

Post-ransomware server and website recovery follows a strict sequence: forensic imaging for evidence preservation, backup integrity validation (checking for malware embedded in backup chains), clean-state server rebuilds from verified images, database restoration with transaction validation, web application security hardening, and DNS/CDN verification to ensure no DNS hijacking occurred during the incident.

What if the malware is embedded in our backups?▼

This is one of the most dangerous scenarios. Attackers frequently maintain presence for weeks before triggering visible damage — meaning your backup chain may contain copies of the malware. We validate every backup recovery point against current IOCs before allowing a restore. If all backups are contaminated, we perform clean-state rebuilds from verified media with data recovery from the most recent clean backup available.

How do you remediate compromised remote access tools like ScreenConnect or AnyDesk?▼

Remote access tool compromise is particularly dangerous because attackers gain the same level of access as your IT team. Our remediation includes: removing all unauthorized remote sessions and unattended access configurations, hunting for secondary payloads deployed through the remote tool, checking for hidden local admin accounts and scheduled tasks, rotating every credential the remote tool had access to, and reconfiguring the tool with access controls, IP restrictions, and MFA — or migrating to a more secure alternative.

What about man-in-the-middle attacks?▼

We investigate and resolve MITM attacks including ARP spoofing, DNS poisoning, SSL stripping, and rogue access point deployment. We identify the interception point, determine what data was exposed, remediate the network-level vulnerability, and implement controls such as certificate pinning, DNSSEC, and 802.1X network access control to prevent recurrence.
