Ransomware Calculator
The below calculator will provide you with an estimate of your cost of recovering from a ransomware attack. The questions are designed to frame the circumstances around your specific attack and company details. Though we have included the most important variables within the calculator, there may be some others that could impact your total costs. We have broken down costs into several parts, from just getting minimal critical functions back online to most (but not all) other vital systems online. Full clean-up, remediation and hardening of the network is not within the scope of this cost estimator. Recovering from a ransomware attack is costly and stressful, but Alvaka hopes to provide you with the information and tools possible so that you can be prepared for what to expect.
If you are fortunate to not have been a victim of ransomware, this calculator can still serve as a tool to show costs of a potential attack and justify to your management team the benefits of investing further into cybersecurity. Read our “Reduce the Risk of Ransomware & Other Cyber Attacks” blog for a list of steps you can take to better protect your company.

Smoke testing is a term used to describe the testing process for servers after patches are applied. 
Estimating an average time for patching servers and PCs can be a bit tricky. It can vary from one month to the next, depending upon the number and complexity of the patches released by your software vendors. You must consider all versions of operating systems and have a complete inventory of all your application software to do this job correctly. Our experience has shown that manual patching of systems takes on average of about 1.5 hours each.
This is a basic cost calculator for you to compute your typical monthly cost for patching your servers, PCs, laptops, tablets and associated application software. It also forms the basis for you to begin calculating your Return on Investment for software patching, or for comparison with alternatives to the manual process of patching operating systems and application software—such as Patch Management as a Service, also known as Vulnerability Management as a Service.
