Crypto-Ransomware Settlement Consulting
Overview of Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Consulting in Campinas
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with attackers. Negotiating an acceptable settlement is a complicated activity that calls for a mix of field experience, technical knowledge and business acumen. It also calls for close co-operation with the cyber-extortion target's IT staff and the cyber insurance provider, if there is one. Because the top priority of the ransomware victim is fast recovery, it is critical to establish recovery groups that work effectively, concurrently, and with intimate collaboration. Progent offers the breadth of IT knowledge and the deep bench of experts to supplement your IT staff and restore your network environment rapidly and affordably.

- Establishing the type of ransomware involved in the attack
- Identifying and communicating with the hacker persona
- Evaluating the recovery risk
- Validating the hacker's decryption tool
- Determining a settlement range with the ransomware victim and the cyber insurance provider
- Negotiating a settlement amount and timeline with the threat actor
- Verifying compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) laws

- Acquiring, learning, and using the threat actor's decryption mechanism
- If needed, contacting the hacker for assistance with the decryptor tool
- Quarantining infected endpoints and data stores to prevent further progress of the assault
- Creating replicas of each infected device and data store in order to perform forensics in parallel with restoration
- Installing anti-virus protection to all virus-free endpoints
- Recovering data from offline backups or uncompromised endpoints
- Building a pristine recovery environment
- Mapping and connecting datastores to reflect exactly their pre-attack condition
Paying Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to extorting money for a decryption tool, current strains of ransomware such as Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Nephilim commonly try to exfiltrate files. TAs are then able to require an additional payment in exchange for not divulging this data on the dark web. Unfortunately, there exists no way to be certain that stolen data have been completely deleted by the TA. Actually, in numerous cases the threat actor has little control about the disposition of the data. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the necessity of getting the advice of privacy lawyers, conducting an inventory of data were stolen, and sending the mandated alerts to affected entities. In almost all cases, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
