Overview of Progent's Ransomware Settlement Negotiation Services in Campinas
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with hackers. Reaching an optimum settlement is a complicated activity that calls for a mix of real-word experience, technical knowledge and business savvy. It also demands close co-operation with the cyber-extortion target's IT team and the insurance carrier, if any. Since the top priority of the ransomware victim is operational continuity, it is vital to deploy recovery groups that operate effectively, concurrently, and with intimate collaboration. Progent offers the breadth of IT skills and the depth of personnel to complement your network support team and restore your network environment quickly and affordably.

Support offered by Progent's ransomware negotiation experts include:

• Determining the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• identifying and contacting the hacker persona
• Evaluating the recovery risk
• Testing the hacker's decryption capabilities
• Determining a settlement payment with the ransomware victim and the cyber insurance provider
• Establishing a settlement amount and schedule with the threat actor
• Confirming accordance with anti-money laundering (AML) laws
• Overseeing the crypto-currency disbursement to the hacker
• Acquiring, learning, and operating the TA's decryption utility
• If necessary, contacting the threat actor for technical assistance with the decryption utility

• Isolating infected endpoints to arrest the spread of the attack
• Making replicas of every compromised server and endpoint and data store to allow forensics without interfering with restoration
• Installing A/V agents to all virus-free endpoints
• Restoring data from air-gapped restores or unscathed endpoints
• Building a pristine recovery environment
• Remapping and connecting drives to reflect precisely their pre-encryption state

Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to demanding money for a decryption tool, current variants of ransomware such as Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Nephilim often attempt to steal (or "exfiltrate") information. Hackers can then demand a separate settlement for not posting this data on the dark web. Sadly, there is no way to guarantee that stolen files have been completely deleted by the hacker. Actually, in many instances the TA has little control over data custody. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the need for engaging the advice of privacy attorneys, performing an investigation into which data were taken, and carrying out the necessary alerts to affected entities. Generally, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
