Overview of Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Consulting in Ipanema
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with hackers. Negotiating an optimum settlement is a complicated activity that requires a mix of real-word experience, IT knowledge and business savvy. It also requires close co-operation with the ransomware victim's IT staff and the insurance carrier, if any. Because the top priority of the ransomware victim is fast recovery, it is vital to establish response teams that operate efficiently, concurrently, and with intimate collaboration. Progent has the scope of IT skills and the deep bench of experts to complement your network staff and recover your network environment rapidly and economically.

Services available from Progent's ransomware settlement negotiation experts include:

• Determining the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Identifying and communicating with the hacker persona
• Assessing the likelihood of recovery
• Testing the hacker's decryption tool
• Agreeing on a settlement with the ransomware victim and the cyber insurance provider
• Establishing a settlement amount and timeline with the hacker
• Checking accordance with anti-money laundering regulations
• Carrying out the crypto-currency disbursement to the hacker
• Acquiring, reviewing, and operating the TA's decryption utility
• If needed, contacting the hacker for assistance with the decryption utility

• Isolating infected endpoints and data stores to prevent further progress of the attack
• Creating digital copies of every breached device and data store to allow forensics without interfering with restoration
• Installing anti-virus agents to all clean endpoints
• Recovering data from air-gapped backups or unscathed endpoints
• Building a clean environment
• Remapping and connecting drives to match exactly their pre-attack condition

Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to demanding money for a decryption tool, modern strains of crypto-ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Nephilim commonly attempt to steal (or "exfiltrate") files. TAs can then require a separate ransom for not publishing this data on the dark web. Sadly, there is no way to prove that stolen data have been totally erased by the threat actor. In fact, in numerous cases the TA has little say about data custody. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the necessity of seeking the guidance of privacy attorneys, performing an investigation into which files were taken, and sending the required alerts to affected entities. Generally, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
