Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Services in Beverly Hills
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors (TAs). Negotiating an optimum settlement is a complex activity that calls for a combination of field experience, technical skills and business savvy. It also demands close co-operation with the victim's IT staff and the cyber insurance provider, if there is one. Because the top goal of the ransomware victim is fast recovery, it is critical to deploy recovery teams that operate efficiently, concurrently, and with intimate collaboration. Progent offers the scope of technical skills and the depth of personnel to supplement your IT support team and recover your network environment quickly and affordably.

Support offered by Progent's ransomware negotiation team include:

• Establishing the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Identifying and communicating with the hacker persona
• Assessing the recovery risk
• Testing the threat actor's decryption capabilities
• Deciding on an acceptable settlement payment with the ransomware victim and the cyber insurance carrier
• Negotiating a settlement amount and timeline with the TA
• Confirming adherence to anti-money laundering (AML) laws
• Managing the crypto-currency payment to the hacker
• Receiving, learning, and operating the TA's decryptor mechanism
• If necessary, contacting the TA for technical assistance with the decryptor tool

• Isolating affected endpoints and data stores to prevent further progress of the attack
• Making replicas of every compromised device and data store to allow forensics without interfering with recovery
• Adding A/V protection to all clean endpoints
• Salvaging data from offline restores or uncompromised machines
• Creating a pristine recovery environment
• Mapping and reconnecting datastores to match exactly their pre-encryption state

Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond demanding payment for a decryption tool, modern variants of ransomware such as Ryuk, Sodinokibi, DopplePaymer, and Nephilim commonly try to exfiltrate information. TAs are then able to demand a separate payment in exchange for not posting this data or selling it. Sadly, there is no method to be certain that stolen data have been totally deleted by the hacker. Actually, in many cases the hacker has little say over who can access the stolen files. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the necessity of getting the advice of legal counsel, performing an inventory of files were stolen, and carrying out the necessary notifications to affected entities. Generally, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
