Ransomware Solutions Services

Overview of Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Services in Sorocaba
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with hackers. Reaching an optimum settlement is a complicated exercise that calls for a combination of field experience, IT knowledge and business acumen. It also demands working closely with the ransomware victim's IT team and the insurance carrier, if there is one. Because the number one priority of the ransomware victim is operational continuity, it is critical to establish response teams that operate efficiently, in parallel, and with intimate collaboration. Progent has the breadth of technical skills and the deep bench of experts to complement your network staff and recover your network rapidly and economically.

Support available from Progent's ransomware settlement negotiation team include:

• Determining the type of ransomware used in the attack
• identifying and contacting the hacker
• Assessing the likelihood of recovery
• Validating the hacker's decryption tool
• Deciding on an acceptable settlement payment with the ransomware victim and the insurance provider
• Establishing a settlement and timeline with the TA
• Checking compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) laws
• Overseeing the crypto-currency transfer to the hacker
• Receiving, learning, and using the threat actor's decryptor utility
• If necessary, contacting the hacker for technical help with the decryptor tool

• Isolating infected endpoints to prevent further spread of the attack
• Creating digital copies of every breached device and data store to allow forensics in parallel with recovery
• Installing A/V protection to all clean endpoints
• Salvaging data from air-gapped backups or uncompromised machines
• Creating a clean recovery environment
• Remapping and reconnecting drives to match exactly their pre-attack condition

Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to demanding payment for a decryption utility, current strains of crypto-ransomware such as Ryuk, Sodinokibi, DopplePaymer, and Nephilim often attempt to exfiltrate information. TAs are then able to require an extra settlement in exchange for not publishing this data or selling it. Unfortunately, there is no method to guarantee that stolen data have been totally deleted by the hacker. Actually, in numerous cases the threat actor has little control over data custody. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the necessity of seeking the advice of legal counsel, performing an inventory of files were taken, and performing the necessary notifications to impacted entities. In almost all cases, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
