Ransomware Recovery Services
A ransomware attack is a clock, not just a crisis — every hour the encryption spreads and the recovery gets harder. LayerLogix delivers end-to-end ransomware recovery for Texas businesses: emergency containment to stop the spread, forensic investigation to find how the attacker got in and whether data was stolen, clean restoration from immutable backups, and a hardening roadmap so it never happens again. We work to forensic standards from minute one to protect your cyber-insurance claim and any legal case, and we give you clear-eyed guidance on the ransom question instead of panic. If you are under attack right now, do not power down or wipe affected systems — call our 24/7 incident response line and we will begin containment immediately.
What We Offer
Comprehensive solutions tailored for Houston-area businesses
Emergency Containment (First Hour)
The moment you engage us, we move to stop the spread — isolating affected endpoints, severing lateral movement paths, disabling compromised accounts, and cutting attacker command-and-control. Containing the blast radius is the difference between a contained incident and a company-wide outage.
Forensic Investigation & Scoping
Before anything is restored, we determine how the attacker got in, how long they were present, what was accessed or exfiltrated, and which systems are truly clean. Restoring without scoping invites reinfection from a foothold you never found.
Clean Restoration from Immutable Backups
We rebuild from known-good, immutable backups — validating integrity before reconnecting systems, and restoring in a sequenced order that brings critical operations back first. Where backups were also encrypted, we pursue every viable recovery path.
Ransom Negotiation Guidance
If paying is being considered, you need clear-eyed counsel — not panic. We help you understand decryptor reliability, OFAC sanctions exposure, and the realistic odds of recovery, coordinating with specialist negotiators and counsel so the decision is informed.
Eviction & Hardening
Recovery is not done until the attacker is evicted and the entry vector is closed. We reset credentials, rotate secrets, patch the exploited vulnerability, deploy EDR, and harden identity so the same door cannot be reopened.
Regulatory & Insurance Support
We preserve evidence to forensic standards, document the timeline, and support breach-notification and cyber-insurance claim requirements — including TDPSA, HIPAA, and FTC Safeguards obligations where they apply.

Hours Matter — We Answer Fast
Ransomware spreads while you decide who to call. Our incident response line is staffed 24/7, and we begin containment remotely within the first hour while coordinating on-site support across Texas.
Recovery, Not Just Decryption
Paying a ransom is not a recovery plan — decryptors fail, and attackers often leave backdoors. We focus on restoring operations from trusted sources and evicting the attacker for good, so you do not pay twice.
Evidence Preserved for Insurance & Legal
Improper handling can void a cyber-insurance claim or compromise a legal case. We work to forensic standards from minute one, preserving the artifacts your insurer and counsel will require.
A Stronger Posture Afterward
Every engagement ends with a hardening roadmap so the next attempt fails. We turn the worst day into a permanent improvement in your defenses, backups, and detection.
One Team, End to End
Containment, forensics, restoration, and hardening from a single coordinated team — no handoffs between vendors while your business is down.
