Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Consulting in Brisbane
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with adversaries. Reaching an acceptable settlement is a complex activity that calls for a mix of field experience, technical skills and business savvy. It also demands close co-operation with the victim's IT team and the cyber insurance provider, if any. Since the top goal of the ransomware victim is fast recovery, it is critical to establish response teams that operate effectively, concurrently, and with intimate collaboration. Progent offers the breadth of technical skills and the deep bench of personnel to complement your network staff and restore your network environment rapidly and economically.

Support available from Progent's ransomware negotiation experts include:

• Establishing the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Identifying and contacting the hacker persona
• Assessing the recovery risk
• Testing the TA's decryption capabilities
• Determining a settlement amount with the victim and the cyber insurance provider
• Establishing a settlement amount and timeline with the threat actor
• Checking adherence to anti-money laundering (AML) laws
• Overseeing the crypto-currency payment to the hacker
• Acquiring, reviewing, and operating the TA's decryptor utility
• If needed, contacting the TA for technical help with the decryption utility

• Isolating infected endpoints to arrest the spread of the assault
• Creating replicas of each compromised device and data store in order to perform forensics without interfering with cleanup
• Installing A/V agents to all virus-free endpoints
• Recovering files from offline restores or uncompromised endpoints
• Creating a clean environment
• Mapping and connecting drives to reflect exactly their pre-encryption condition

Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond extorting money for a decryption utility, current variants of ransomware such as Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Egregor often attempt to exfiltrate files. Hackers can then demand a separate settlement for not divulging this information or selling it. Sadly, there is no way to be certain that stolen data have been totally deleted by the hacker. Actually, in numerous instances the TA has little say over the disposition of the data. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the necessity of seeking the advice of legal counsel, performing an investigation into which data were stolen, and carrying out the necessary notifications to affected entities. In almost all cases, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
