Progent's Ransomware Settlement Negotiation Consulting in Eugene
Ransomware Defense and Recovery ConsultantsProgent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with hackers. Reaching an acceptable settlement is a complex exercise that requires a mix of field experience, IT knowledge and business acumen. It also demands close co-operation with the cyber-extortion target's IT team and the cyber insurance provider, if any. Because the top goal of the ransomware victim is fast recovery, it is vital to establish recovery teams that operate effectively, in parallel, and in close communication. Progent offers the scope of technical skills and the depth of personnel to supplement your IT staff and restore your network quickly and economically.

Support available from Progent's ransomware settlement experts include:

  • Determining the kind of ransomware used in the assault
  • Identifying and communicating with the hacker
  • Evaluating the recovery risk
  • Validating the threat actor's decryption tool
  • Deciding on an acceptable settlement with the ransomware victim and the cyber insurance provider
  • Negotiating a settlement and timeline with the hacker
  • Verifying adherence to anti-money laundering (AML) regulations
  • Carrying out the crypto-currency transfer to the hacker
  • Receiving, learning, and using the threat actor's decryptor tool
  • If needed, contacting the TA for technical help with the decryptor utility
In parallel with the settlement negotiations, Progent's ransomware team can help with:
  • Quarantining affected endpoints to arrest the progress of the attack
  • Creating replicas of every infected device and data store in order to perform forensics without interfering with recovery
  • Installing anti-virus agents to all clean endpoints
  • Restoring files from offline restores or uncompromised machines
  • Creating a pristine recovery environment
  • Remapping and connecting drives to reflect precisely their pre-encryption condition
Once the decryption utility has been mastered, Progent can help you to recover physical and virtual devices and software services to their pre-arrack condition. Progent can also help you to conduct a full forensic review and generate a document to deliver to the cyber insurance carrier. This report helps you to understand security gaps that need to be fixed and suggests actions that should be performed to combat future ransomware attacks.

Settling Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to extorting payment for a decryption tool, modern variants of crypto-ransomware like Ryuk, Sodinokibi, Netwalker, and Nephilim commonly try to exfiltrate information. Hackers are then able to require an extra payment for not divulging this information or selling it. Sadly, there exists no method to guarantee that exfiltrated data have been totally deleted by the hacker. Actually, in numerous cases the TA has limited control over the disposition of the data. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the necessity of engaging the advice of privacy attorneys, performing an audit on which data were taken, and carrying out the mandated notifications to affected entities. Generally, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
