Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Services in Fort Myers
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with hackers. Reaching an optimum settlement is a complicated activity that calls for a combination of real-word experience, IT knowledge and business acumen. It also calls for close co-operation with the cyber-extortion target's IT staff and the cyber 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 work effectively, in parallel, and in close communication. Progent offers the breadth of technical knowledge and the depth of experts to complement your IT staff and restore your network environment quickly and affordably.

• Determining the kind of ransomware used in the assault

• Evaluating the recovery risk
• Verifying the hacker's decryption tool

• Checking adherence to anti-money laundering regulations

• If needed, contacting the TA for assistance with the decryption utility

• Quarantining infected endpoints and data stores to arrest the spread of the attack
• Making replicas of each compromised server and endpoint and data store to allow forensics without interfering with recovery
• Adding anti-virus agents to all clean endpoints
• Salvaging data from offline restores or unscathed endpoints
• Creating a clean environment
• Mapping and reconnecting drives to reflect precisely their pre-attack state

Settling Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to demanding payment for a decryption utility, modern strains of ransomware such as Ryuk, Sodinokibi, Netwalker, and Nephilim commonly try to exfiltrate information. Hackers are then able to require a separate settlement in exchange for not posting this data on the dark web. Unfortunately, there exists no method to be certain that exfiltrated data have been totally deleted by the TA. In fact, in many cases the threat actor has little control about who can access the stolen files. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the necessity of getting the guidance of privacy attorneys, conducting an investigation into which data were taken, and sending the required alerts to affected entities. In general, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
