Ransomware Response Consultants

Progent's Ransomware Settlement Negotiation Consulting in Barra da Tijuca
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with hackers. Reaching an optimum settlement is a complex activity that calls for a combination of real-word experience, technical knowledge and business savvy. It also calls for close co-operation with the victim's IT staff and the insurance provider, if any. Since the number one priority of the ransomware target is operational continuity, it is vital to establish recovery teams that work efficiently, in parallel, and with intimate collaboration. Progent has the breadth of IT knowledge and the depth of personnel to complement your IT staff and recover your network environment quickly and affordably.

Support provided by Progent's ransomware settlement negotiation team include:

• Establishing the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Identifying and communicating with the hacker persona
• Evaluating the recovery risk
• Testing the hacker's decryption capabilities
• Determining a settlement range with the victim and the insurance carrier
• Establishing a settlement amount and timeline with the hacker
• Checking adherence to anti-money laundering regulations
• Managing the crypto-currency transfer to the hacker
• Receiving, learning, and using the hacker's decryptor tool
• If needed, contacting the hacker for technical help with the decryption tool

• Isolating affected endpoints to prevent further spread of the assault
• Creating replicas of every breached server and endpoint and data store to allow forensics without interfering with restoration
• Adding A/V protection to all clean endpoints
• Restoring files from air-gapped backups or unscathed machines
• Creating a pristine environment
• Mapping and connecting datastores to match precisely their pre-attack state

Paying Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond extorting payment for a decryption tool, current variants of ransomware like Ryuk, Sodinokibi, Netwalker, and Nephilim commonly try to exfiltrate files. Hackers can then require an extra settlement for not publishing this information on the dark web. Sadly, there is no way to prove that stolen data have been totally erased by the TA. Actually, in numerous instances the hacker has limited say about where the information ends up. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the need for getting the advice of privacy lawyers, performing an audit on which data were stolen, and carrying out the mandated alerts to affected entities. In general, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
