Ransomware Response Consulting Services
Ransomware Settlement Help
Overview of Progent's Ransomware Settlement Negotiation Services in Brooklyn
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with attackers. Reaching an optimum settlement is a complex activity that requires a mix of field experience, technical skills and business savvy. It also requires close co-operation with the ransomware victim's IT staff and the insurance provider, if any. Because the top goal of the ransomware victim is operational continuity, it is vital to deploy response teams that operate efficiently, concurrently, and with intimate collaboration. Progent offers the scope of technical knowledge and the deep bench of experts to supplement your IT staff and restore your network environment quickly and affordably.
Services provided by Progent's ransomware settlement negotiation experts include:
- Establishing the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
- Identifying and contacting the hacker
- Assessing the likelihood of recovery
- Validating the TA's decryption capabilities
- Budgeting a settlement range with the victim and the cyber insurance carrier
- Negotiating a settlement amount and timeline with the hacker
- Verifying accordance with anti-money laundering sanctions
- Carrying out the crypto-currency payment to the hacker
- Acquiring, learning, and using the TA's decryption mechanism
- If needed, contacting the TA for technical help with the decryptor utility
- Isolating infected endpoints to prevent further spread of the assault
- Creating digital copies of each compromised server and endpoint and data store in order to perform forensics without interfering with cleanup
- Adding anti-virus agents to all clean endpoints
- Recovering files from air-gapped restores or uncompromised endpoints
- Building a clean recovery environment
- Remapping and connecting drives to match precisely their pre-encryption state
Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to extorting payment for a decryption tool, current strains of crypto-ransomware like Ryuk, Sodinokibi, Netwalker, and Egregor commonly attempt to steal (or "exfiltrate") information. TAs are then able to demand an extra payment for not divulging this data on the dark web. Unfortunately, there is no way to be certain that exfiltrated data have been completely erased by the TA. Actually, in numerous instances the TA has limited say over where the information ends up. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the need for getting the guidance of privacy attorneys, performing an investigation into which files were taken, and carrying out the required notifications to impacted entities. In almost all cases, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
