Ransomware Solutions Services

Progent's Ransomware Settlement Negotiation Consulting in Brighton
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with hackers. Negotiating an optimum settlement is a complex activity that calls for a mix of real-word experience, technical skills and business savvy. It also demands close co-operation with the ransomware victim's IT team and the insurance carrier, if there is one. Because the number one goal of the ransomware target is fast recovery, it is critical to establish response groups that operate efficiently, concurrently, and with intimate collaboration. Progent has the breadth of IT skills and the deep bench of experts to supplement your IT staff and restore your network environment rapidly and affordably.

Services provided by Progent's ransomware negotiation team include:

• Establishing the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Identifying and communicating with the hacker
• Evaluating the likelihood of recovery
• Testing the TA's decryption tool
• Deciding on an acceptable settlement range with the ransomware victim and the cyber insurance carrier
• Negotiating a settlement amount and timeline with the TA
• Confirming accordance with anti-money laundering (AML) sanctions
• Carrying out the crypto-currency payment to the TA
• Receiving, reviewing, and operating the threat actor's decryptor tool
• If necessary, contacting the threat actor for assistance with the decryption utility

• Quarantining infected endpoints and data stores to prevent further spread of the attack
• Creating replicas of every compromised server and endpoint and data store in order to perform forensics in parallel with recovery
• Adding A/V protection to all clean endpoints
• Restoring data from offline restores or unscathed endpoints
• Creating a clean environment
• Mapping and connecting drives to reflect exactly their pre-attack state

Paying Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond demanding payment for a decryption tool, modern strains of crypto-ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, Netwalker, and Nephilim commonly try to steal (or "exfiltrate") files. TAs can then require a separate ransom in exchange for not divulging this information or selling it. Sadly, there is no way to guarantee that exfiltrated data have been totally deleted by the hacker. Actually, in many instances the threat actor has limited say over data custody. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the need for engaging the guidance of privacy attorneys, conducting an inventory of data were compromised, and performing the required alerts to impacted entities. In general, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
