Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Services in Santos
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors (TAs). Reaching an acceptable settlement is a complex exercise 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 provider, if any. Since the top priority of the ransomware victim is operational continuity, it is vital to establish recovery teams that operate effectively, concurrently, and with intimate collaboration. Progent offers the scope of IT skills and the deep bench of personnel to supplement your network support team and restore your network rapidly and economically.

Support provided by Progent's ransomware negotiation team include:

• Establishing the type of ransomware used in the attack
• identifying and contacting the hacker
• Evaluating the likelihood of recovery
• Validating the TA's decryption tool

• Receiving, learning, and operating the TA's decryptor utility
• If needed, contacting the TA for assistance with the decryption utility

• Quarantining affected endpoints and data stores to prevent further progress of the assault
• Creating digital copies of every infected server and endpoint and data store in order to perform forensics without interfering with recovery
• Installing anti-virus agents to all clean endpoints
• Restoring files from offline restores or unscathed machines
• Building a pristine environment
• Remapping and connecting drives to match exactly their pre-attack state

Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond extorting money for a decryption utility, modern strains of ransomware such as Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Nephilim often attempt to steal (or "exfiltrate") information. TAs can then require an additional ransom for not divulging this information on the dark web. Sadly, there exists no way to prove that exfiltrated data have been completely erased by the TA. In fact, in many instances the TA has little say about the disposition of the data. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the need for engaging the guidance of privacy lawyers, conducting an investigation into which files were compromised, and sending the mandated alerts to impacted entities. In general, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
