Ransomware Settlement Support
Overview of Progent's Ransomware Settlement Negotiation Services in Valencia
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with adversaries. Negotiating an acceptable settlement is a complex activity that requires a mix of field experience, IT skills and business savvy. It also demands close co-operation with the victim's IT team and the insurance carrier, if any. Because the number one goal of the ransomware target is operational continuity, it is vital to deploy recovery teams that operate effectively, concurrently, and in close communication. Progent offers the breadth of IT knowledge and the deep bench of experts to supplement your network support team and restore your network environment rapidly and economically.

- Determining the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
- Making contact with the hacker persona
- Evaluating the likelihood of recovery
- Testing the threat actor's decryption tool
- Agreeing on a settlement range with the ransomware victim and the insurance carrier

- Making digital copies of each compromised server and endpoint and data store to allow forensics without interfering with cleanup
- Adding A/V protection to all clean endpoints

Settling Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond demanding money for a decryption tool, current strains of crypto-ransomware such as Ryuk, Maze, Netwalker, and Nephilim often try to steal (or "exfiltrate") files. TAs can then demand an extra ransom in exchange for not posting this information on the dark web. Sadly, there exists no method to guarantee that stolen data have been completely deleted by the threat actor. Actually, in numerous instances the threat actor has limited say over where the information ends up. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the necessity of engaging the guidance of privacy lawyers, performing an audit on which files were compromised, and carrying out the necessary alerts to affected entities. In almost all cases, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
