Crypto-Ransomware Settlement Consulting
Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Services in Londrina
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with attackers. Reaching an acceptable settlement is a complicated exercise that requires a combination of field experience, technical skills and business savvy. It also demands working closely with the victim's IT staff and the cyber insurance provider, if any. Because the number one priority of the ransomware target is operational continuity, it is vital to deploy response teams that work effectively, concurrently, and with intimate collaboration. Progent offers the breadth of IT skills and the deep bench of experts to complement your network support team and recover your network environment quickly and economically.
Support provided by Progent's ransomware settlement negotiation experts include:
- Determining the type of ransomware involved in the assault
- Identifying and contacting the hacker
- Assessing the likelihood of recovery
- Testing the hacker's decryption capabilities
- Determining a settlement with the ransomware victim and the cyber insurance carrier
- Establishing a settlement and schedule with the hacker
- Checking adherence to anti-money laundering (AML) sanctions
- Carrying out the crypto-currency transfer to the TA
- Acquiring, learning, and using the TA's decryption tool
- If necessary, contacting the TA for technical help with the decryption utility
- Isolating infected endpoints to prevent further progress of the assault
- Making replicas of each infected server and endpoint and data store to allow forensics in parallel with recovery
- Installing anti-virus protection to all clean endpoints
- Salvaging data from offline restores or unscathed endpoints
- Building a pristine recovery environment
- Mapping and connecting datastores to reflect precisely their pre-encryption condition
Settling Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond demanding payment for a decryption tool, current variants of ransomware like Ryuk, Sodinokibi, Netwalker, and Egregor commonly attempt to steal (or "exfiltrate") information. TAs can then demand an additional ransom for not posting this information on the dark web. Unfortunately, there exists no way to guarantee that exfiltrated files have been totally erased by the threat actor. Actually, in many cases the threat actor has little control over where the information ends up. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the need for getting the advice of legal counsel, performing an investigation into which data were compromised, and sending the mandated alerts to affected entities. In almost all cases, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
