Ransomware Mitigation with Google Workspace Automation

Secure Your Business with PBJ Tech’s Script-Driven Google Workspace Defense

Protecting Your Cloud Environment from Ransomware, Data Loss, and Unauthorized Access

Ransomware is one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity threats facing organizations today—and cloud environments like Google Workspace are not immune. At PBJ Tech, we offer proactive, script-based security automation that helps detect, contain, and prevent ransomware attacks within your Google Workspace environment.

Our custom-built Google Apps Script solutions deliver intelligent monitoring, rapid incident response, and automated remediation to safeguard your organization’s critical data across Gmail, Google Drive, Shared Drives, and user accounts.

How We Use Google Workspace Scripts to Defend Against Ransomware

  • 🔐 Real-Time File Activity Monitoring: We deploy scripts that scan Google Drive and Shared Drives for suspicious activity patterns, including rapid file renames, deletions, or encryptions often associated with ransomware behavior.
  • 🚨 Automated Threat Alerts: Our scripts generate real-time alerts via email or chat (Google Chat, Slack, etc.) if abnormal file behavior or unusual access patterns are detected. You get notified the moment something goes wrong—not hours or days later.
  • 🧯 Damage Containment: When suspicious activity is flagged, our automation can restrict sharing permissions, move affected files to a secure quarantine folder, or temporarily suspend a compromised user account to prevent further spread.
  • 📁 Backup & Restore Automation: Our scripts automatically back up critical documents, spreadsheets, and shared resources to isolated backup folders at regular intervals. If an attack occurs, we can recover files quickly without relying on third-party solutions.
  • 📊 Audit Logging & Daily Reports: We generate detailed daily logs of file activity, drive usage, permission changes, and file ownership transfers—giving you full visibility into potential threats and insider risks.
  • 🔄 File Lockdown Routines: For high-risk teams (finance, HR, legal), we implement automated permission revocation and link removal on sensitive files if unusual access or behavior is detected, stopping external sharing instantly.

Google Workspace Ransomware Defense – Key Features

  • ✅ Built-In to Your Workspace: No need to buy expensive add-ons. Our solutions run securely on Google Apps Script and integrate directly with your existing Workspace environment.
  • 🔧 Customizable for Your Needs: Scripts can be tailored to protect individual user accounts, entire departments, or specific Shared Drives depending on your security goals.
  • ⏱ Runs Automatically: Our automations run on timed triggers—hourly, daily, or in real-time—ensuring you’re protected around the clock without constant admin intervention.
  • 📥 Email Scanning (Optional): Add-on modules available for scanning Gmail attachments and subject lines for ransomware keywords, suspicious links, or spoofed sender domains.
  • 📊 Admin Dashboards: Add summaries and visual reports to your Admin Panel or Google Sheets for easy review by non-technical managers or stakeholders.
  • 📎 Version Recovery Support: In the event of corruption, our systems utilize Google’s version history and snapshot backup to restore prior file states.
