In response to a sharp rise in ransomware attacks targeting businesses nationwide, ConnectOn [http://connecton.com] has expanded its ransomware remediation services to strengthen support for businesses navigating cyber incidents. The updates are part of the company's continued investment in managed IT services and cybersecurity solutions built for recovery, resilience, and business continuity.

The newly enhanced ransomware offering falls under ConnectOn's HiveDR platform, which focuses on disaster recovery for organizations of all sizes. The Tampa-based provider of fashion IT managed services [https://www.facebook.com/ConnectOninc/]has completed over 120 ransomware remediation engagements to date, showcasing its role as one of the most experienced IT managed service providers in Tampa.

"Cyber threats are no longer isolated incidents-they're a constant business risk," said Unnar Thor Gardarsson, CEO of ConnectOn. "Our remediation process is designed for speed, precision, and full recovery. With a dedicated response team and proven methodology, we help clients resume operations while eliminating persistent threats."

ConnectOn's response framework combines multiple layers of expertise, including containment strategies, forensic analysis, threat actor ejection, recovery infrastructure, and post-incident hardening. The company also utilizes its proprietary "datacenter-in-a-box" tool, allowing rapid deployment of a secure recovery environment that minimizes downtime.

The expanded remediation capability also includes incident response coordination. ConnectOn works with internal teams and external advisors to guide businesses through legal, operational, and public-facing challenges associated with cybersecurity breaches.

"Every case we respond to is different, but the one thing that doesn't change is the urgency," Gardarsson said. "We move quickly to isolate the attack, prevent reinfection, and bring critical systems back online."

With a growing demand for IT managed services in Tampa [https://connecton.com/navigating-the-digital-landscape-the-role-of-managed-it-services/], local organizations are turning to managed IT service providers to strengthen their defenses. ConnectOn's HiveOps (security operations), HiveNet (network optimization), and HiveDR (disaster recovery) platforms deliver layered protection against evolving threats. Its proactive services include endpoint monitoring, patch management, threat detection, and coordinated recovery planning.

In addition to ransomware remediation, the firm's ConnectOn Core program provides fully managed and co-managed IT services tailored to organizational needs. This allows businesses to outsource entire IT functions or supplement internal teams with specialized support. ConnectOn positions itself as a flexible partner for companies at various stages of digital maturity.

"As more businesses invest in cybersecurity readiness, they need managed IT services Tampa companies can rely on," said Gene Pavliscsak, President of ConnectOn. "Our goal is not only to respond to threats but to help clients build the infrastructure to resist them in the first place."

Ransomware attacks have increased in complexity, affecting small businesses and large enterprises alike, adds Pavliscsak. Industry data shows that recovery times and financial losses from these incidents continue to rise. This has led many companies to prioritize partnerships with providers offering managed IT services and specialized response capabilities.

ConnectOn's expanded focus on ransomware defense is part of the company's bigger cybersecurity strategy to provide end-to-end IT support, from core infrastructure to crisis response. As an IT managed services provider Tampa businesses have worked with for more than four decades, the company remains committed to delivering technical expertise and strategic guidance to clients across Florida.

The company's leadership sees ransomware not just as a cybersecurity challenge, but as a business continuity issue that demands both technical execution and organizational preparedness.

"With the right team and tools in place, a ransomware attack doesn't have to be a business-ending event," Gardarsson said. "Our approach ensures that clients recover faster and stronger."

The expansion of ransomware remediation services is the latest development in ConnectOn's strategy to bolster its position as a trusted partner for fashion IT managed services Tampa firms depend on. As demand grows for scalable, secure, and responsive IT support, ConnectOn continues to evolve its platforms to meet the needs of Florida businesses.
