Ransomware Solutions Consulting Experts

Overview of Progent's Ransomware Settlement Negotiation Consulting in Birmingham
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with adversaries. Negotiating an optimum settlement is a complicated exercise that requires a combination of real-word experience, IT knowledge and business acumen. It also demands close co-operation with the victim's IT staff and the insurance provider, if there is one. Since the top priority of the ransomware victim is operational continuity, it is vital to establish response teams that work effectively, concurrently, and with intimate collaboration. Progent offers the scope of IT knowledge and the deep bench of experts to complement your network support team and recover your network environment quickly and affordably.

Services available from Progent's ransomware settlement negotiation experts include:

• Determining the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Identifying and contacting the hacker
• Evaluating the likelihood of recovery
• Validating the TA's decryption tool
• Determining a settlement amount with the victim and the insurance provider
• Negotiating a settlement and schedule with the threat actor
• Checking adherence to anti-money laundering laws
• Overseeing the crypto-currency payment to the TA
• Receiving, reviewing, and using the TA's decryption mechanism
• If necessary, contacting the hacker for technical help with the decryptor tool

• Quarantining affected endpoints to prevent further progress of the assault
• Creating replicas of every compromised server and endpoint and data store to allow forensics in parallel with restoration
• Installing anti-virus protection to all virus-free endpoints
• Salvaging files from air-gapped restores or unscathed endpoints
• Creating a pristine recovery environment
• Mapping and connecting datastores to match precisely their pre-encryption condition

Settling Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to extorting money for a decryption utility, modern variants of crypto-ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Egregor commonly try to steal (or "exfiltrate") information. TAs can then require an additional settlement for not publishing this data on the dark web. Sadly, there is no method to prove that stolen files have been totally erased by the hacker. Actually, in numerous cases the hacker has little control about where the information ends up. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the necessity of seeking the guidance of privacy attorneys, conducting an inventory of data were taken, and performing the required notifications to affected entities. In almost all cases, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
