Ransomware Solutions Services

Overview of Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Services in Mesa
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with hackers. Negotiating an optimum settlement is a complex activity that calls for a combination 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 provider, if any. Because the number one goal of the ransomware target is fast recovery, it is critical to deploy response teams that work effectively, in parallel, and in close communication. Progent offers the breadth of IT knowledge and the depth of personnel to supplement your network support team and recover your network rapidly and economically.

Services provided by Progent's ransomware settlement experts include:

• Establishing the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• identifying and contacting the hacker
• Assessing the likelihood of recovery
• Testing the TA's decryption tool
• Agreeing on a settlement range with the victim and the insurance carrier
• Negotiating a settlement and schedule with the threat actor
• Confirming compliance with anti-money laundering laws
• Carrying out the crypto-currency transfer to the hacker
• Acquiring, reviewing, and using the TA's decryption tool
• If necessary, contacting the TA for technical assistance with the decryptor utility

• Quarantining infected endpoints to arrest the progress of the assault
• Making digital copies of every breached server and endpoint and data store in order to perform forensics without interfering with restoration
• Installing A/V protection to all virus-free endpoints
• Restoring files from air-gapped backups or unscathed endpoints
• Building a clean environment
• Mapping and connecting drives to match exactly their pre-attack state

Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to demanding payment for a decryption tool, current strains of crypto-ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Egregor commonly attempt to exfiltrate files. TAs can then require a separate settlement for not divulging this information on the dark web. Unfortunately, there is no method to prove that exfiltrated data have been totally erased by the hacker. In fact, in many instances the TA has limited control about where the information ends up. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the necessity of seeking the guidance of legal counsel, conducting an inventory of data were taken, and carrying out the necessary alerts to affected entities. In general, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
