Ransomware Solutions Consultants

Overview of Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Services in Rancho Cordova
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors. Reaching an optimum settlement is a complex activity that calls for a combination of field experience, IT skills and business savvy. It also demands working closely with the victim's IT staff and the cyber insurance provider, if any. Since the number one goal of the ransomware target is fast recovery, it is vital to deploy response groups that operate efficiently, concurrently, and in close communication. Progent offers the scope of technical knowledge and the depth of experts to supplement your network staff and restore your network environment quickly and affordably.

Services offered by Progent's ransomware settlement negotiation experts include:

• Determining the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• identifying and contacting the hacker
• Evaluating the recovery risk
• Verifying the TA's decryption tool
• Determining a settlement with the victim and the insurance carrier
• Establishing a settlement amount and schedule with the threat actor
• Verifying adherence to anti-money laundering (AML) laws
• Managing the crypto-currency payment to the TA
• Receiving, reviewing, and using the TA's decryptor utility
• If needed, contacting the threat actor for technical assistance with the decryptor utility

• Isolating infected endpoints to arrest the progress of the assault
• Making replicas of each breached server and endpoint and data store to allow forensics without interfering with restoration
• Adding A/V agents to all clean endpoints
• Salvaging files from air-gapped backups or unscathed endpoints
• Building a clean recovery environment
• Remapping and reconnecting datastores to reflect precisely their pre-attack condition

Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond extorting payment for a decryption tool, modern strains of ransomware like Ryuk, Sodinokibi, DopplePaymer, and Egregor commonly attempt to exfiltrate files. Hackers are then able to require an extra payment in exchange for not publishing this data or selling it. Sadly, there is no method to guarantee that exfiltrated data have been completely erased by the threat actor. In fact, in numerous cases the threat actor has little control over data custody. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the need for seeking the advice of privacy attorneys, conducting an inventory of files were stolen, and performing the required alerts to impacted entities. Generally, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
