Crypto-Ransomware Settlement Negotiation Services
Overview of Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Services in Glendale
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with hackers. Reaching an optimum settlement is a complicated activity that calls for a mix of field experience, IT knowledge and business savvy. It also demands close co-operation with the cyber-extortion target's IT staff and the insurance provider, if there is one. Since the top goal of the ransomware target is operational continuity, it is vital to deploy recovery groups that operate effectively, concurrently, and in close communication. Progent has the scope of IT knowledge and the depth of personnel to complement your IT support team and recover your network quickly and economically.

- Establishing the type of ransomware used in the attack
- Making contact with the hacker persona
- Assessing the likelihood of recovery
- Verifying the threat actor's decryption tool
- Budgeting a settlement payment with the victim and the insurance carrier
- Establishing a settlement and schedule with the hacker
- Verifying compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) laws
- Managing the crypto-currency payment to the TA
- Receiving, reviewing, and operating the threat actor's decryption utility
- If needed, contacting the TA for assistance with the decryption tool
- Isolating infected endpoints to prevent further progress of the attack
- Creating digital copies of each compromised device and data store to allow forensics without interfering with cleanup
- Adding A/V protection to all clean endpoints
- Restoring data from air-gapped restores or unscathed machines
- Creating a pristine environment
- Mapping and connecting drives to match precisely their pre-encryption condition
Settling Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to extorting money for a decryption utility, modern variants of ransomware like Ryuk, Sodinokibi, DopplePaymer, and Egregor commonly attempt to steal (or "exfiltrate") files. TAs are then able to demand a separate payment for not divulging this information on the dark web. Unfortunately, there is no method to be certain that exfiltrated files have been completely deleted by the TA. Actually, in numerous cases the TA has little say about where the information ends up. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the need for getting the guidance of privacy lawyers, performing an inventory of data were stolen, and sending the necessary notifications to affected entities. Generally, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
