Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Services in Glendale
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors. Negotiating an acceptable settlement is a complex activity that calls for a combination of real-word experience, technical skills and business acumen. It also demands working closely with the ransomware victim's IT team and the cyber insurance provider, if there is one. Since the number one goal of the ransomware target is fast recovery, it is vital to establish recovery groups that operate effectively, concurrently, and with intimate collaboration. Progent has the scope of technical knowledge and the depth of experts to supplement your network support team and recover your network quickly and affordably.

Support available from Progent's ransomware negotiation team include:

• Determining the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Identifying and contacting the hacker
• Assessing the recovery risk
• Validating the threat actor's decryption capabilities
• Deciding on an acceptable settlement payment with the victim and the cyber insurance carrier
• Negotiating a settlement and timeline with the hacker
• Confirming compliance with anti-money laundering sanctions
• Managing the crypto-currency disbursement to the hacker
• Receiving, reviewing, and operating the threat actor's decryptor mechanism
• If necessary, contacting the hacker for assistance with the decryption utility

• Quarantining infected endpoints to arrest the progress of the attack
• Making replicas of each compromised device and data store to allow forensics in parallel with restoration
• Installing A/V agents to all clean endpoints
• Recovering files from offline restores or uncompromised endpoints
• Building a clean recovery environment
• Remapping and reconnecting datastores to match precisely their pre-attack condition

Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond demanding payment for a decryption utility, modern strains of crypto-ransomware such as Ryuk, Sodinokibi, DopplePaymer, and Nephilim commonly try to exfiltrate information. Hackers can then demand an extra ransom for not posting this data or selling it. Sadly, there exists no way to guarantee that stolen files have been totally erased by the threat actor. Actually, in numerous instances the TA has little control about data custody. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the necessity of seeking the advice of privacy lawyers, conducting an audit on which files were stolen, and carrying out the necessary notifications to affected entities. Generally, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
