Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Services in Detroit
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, technical skills and business acumen. It also demands working closely with the victim's IT staff and the cyber insurance carrier, if there is one. Because the number one goal of the ransomware victim is fast recovery, it is vital to establish response teams that work effectively, concurrently, and in close communication. Progent has the scope of technical skills and the depth of experts to complement your network staff and recover your network quickly and economically.

Support provided by Progent's ransomware settlement negotiation team include:

• Determining the type of ransomware used in the attack
• making contact with the hacker
• Evaluating the likelihood of recovery
• Verifying the TA's decryption capabilities
• Deciding on an acceptable settlement with the victim and the insurance carrier
• Negotiating a settlement amount and timeline with the hacker
• Checking accordance with anti-money laundering sanctions
• Carrying out the crypto-currency transfer to the TA
• Receiving, reviewing, and operating the TA's decryption mechanism
• If necessary, contacting the TA for assistance with the decryption utility

• Isolating affected endpoints and data stores to arrest the spread of the assault
• Making replicas of each compromised device and data store to allow forensics in parallel with recovery
• Adding A/V protection to all clean endpoints
• Restoring data from offline restores or unscathed machines
• Creating a clean recovery environment
• Remapping and connecting drives to reflect exactly their pre-attack state

Paying Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to demanding money for a decryption utility, current variants of ransomware such as Ryuk, Sodinokibi, DopplePaymer, and Egregor commonly attempt to exfiltrate information. TAs can then demand a separate ransom for not publishing this information on the dark web. Unfortunately, there is no way to be certain that stolen files have been totally deleted by the hacker. In fact, in numerous cases the threat actor has little control about who can access the stolen files. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the necessity of getting the guidance of privacy attorneys, conducting an inventory of files were taken, and carrying out the necessary notifications to impacted entities. In almost all cases, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
