Crypto-Ransomware Negotiation Services
Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Services in Guadalajara
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with attackers. Negotiating an optimum settlement is a complicated activity that requires a mix of real-word experience, technical knowledge and business savvy. It also calls for working closely with the cyber-extortion target's IT staff and the insurance carrier, if any. Because the top priority of the ransomware victim is operational continuity, it is vital to establish response groups that operate effectively, in parallel, and in close communication. Progent offers the breadth of IT skills and the depth of experts to supplement your IT support team and restore your network quickly and affordably.
Services provided by Progent's ransomware settlement team include:
- Establishing the type of ransomware involved in the assault
- Identifying and communicating with the hacker persona
- Evaluating the recovery risk
- Verifying the TA's decryption tool
- Determining a settlement range with the ransomware victim and the insurance carrier
- Establishing a settlement and schedule with the TA
- Verifying accordance with anti-money laundering sanctions
- Managing the crypto-currency transfer to the hacker
- Receiving, reviewing, and operating the TA's decryption utility
- If necessary, contacting the hacker for technical help with the decryption utility
- Quarantining infected endpoints and data stores to arrest the spread of the assault
- Making digital copies of every breached server and endpoint and data store to allow forensics in parallel with cleanup
- Adding A/V protection to all virus-free endpoints
- Recovering data from air-gapped restores or uncompromised machines
- Building a pristine recovery environment
- Remapping and connecting datastores to reflect exactly their pre-encryption state
Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond demanding money for a decryption tool, modern variants of crypto-ransomware such as Ryuk, Sodinokibi, Netwalker, and Egregor often attempt to exfiltrate information. Hackers are then able to demand an extra settlement in exchange for not publishing this information on the dark web. Unfortunately, there exists no method to prove that stolen files have been totally erased by the threat actor. Actually, in numerous cases the threat actor has little say about data custody. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the need for seeking the guidance of privacy lawyers, performing an inventory of data were taken, and sending the mandated notifications to affected entities. In general, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
