Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Services in Garland
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with hackers. Reaching an optimum settlement is a complicated exercise that requires a combination of field experience, IT skills and business acumen. It also demands working closely with the cyber-extortion target's IT staff and the insurance carrier, if any. Because the number one priority of the ransomware victim is fast recovery, it is critical to deploy recovery teams that work efficiently, in parallel, and in close communication. Progent has the breadth of technical knowledge and the deep bench of personnel to supplement your network support team and recover your network quickly and affordably.

Services provided by Progent's ransomware settlement team include:

• Determining the type of ransomware used in the assault
• identifying and contacting the hacker
• Assessing the recovery risk
• Verifying the hacker's decryption tool
• Determining a settlement payment with the ransomware victim and the insurance provider
• Establishing a settlement amount and timeline with the hacker
• Confirming compliance with anti-money laundering laws
• Carrying out the crypto-currency disbursement to the TA
• Acquiring, reviewing, and using the threat actor's decryptor mechanism
• If necessary, contacting the threat actor for technical help with the decryptor tool

• Isolating affected endpoints to arrest the spread of the assault
• Making replicas of every breached device and data store to allow forensics without interfering with recovery
• Installing anti-virus protection to all virus-free endpoints
• Recovering data from offline backups or unscathed endpoints
• Creating a pristine recovery environment
• Mapping and connecting drives to match precisely their pre-attack condition

Settling Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond demanding money for a decryption tool, modern variants of ransomware such as Ryuk, Maze, Netwalker, and Nephilim often attempt to steal (or "exfiltrate") information. Hackers can then demand an extra ransom in exchange for not publishing this information on the dark web. Unfortunately, there exists no method to guarantee that exfiltrated data have been totally erased by the TA. Actually, in numerous instances the TA has little control about data custody. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the necessity of seeking the advice of privacy attorneys, performing an audit on which files were taken, and performing the required notifications to impacted entities. In almost all cases, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
