Ransomware Solutions Consultants

Overview of Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Consulting in Roseville
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with hackers. Reaching an acceptable settlement is a complex exercise that calls for a mix of field experience, technical skills and business acumen. It also calls for close co-operation with the cyber-extortion target's IT team and the insurance carrier, if any. Because the top priority of the ransomware target is operational continuity, it is vital to deploy recovery groups that work efficiently, concurrently, and with intimate collaboration. Progent has the scope of technical skills and the deep bench of experts to supplement your network staff and restore your network environment quickly and economically.

Services provided by Progent's ransomware settlement negotiation experts include:

• Establishing the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Identifying and communicating with the hacker
• Assessing the likelihood of recovery
• Verifying the threat actor's decryption capabilities
• Agreeing on a settlement payment with the ransomware victim and the insurance carrier
• Negotiating a settlement amount and schedule with the hacker
• Verifying adherence to anti-money laundering (AML) sanctions
• Carrying out the crypto-currency transfer to the TA
• Acquiring, learning, and using the TA's decryptor mechanism
• If necessary, contacting the hacker for technical help with the decryption utility

• Isolating infected endpoints to prevent further progress of the assault
• Creating digital copies of each breached device and data store to allow forensics without interfering with cleanup
• Installing A/V protection to all clean endpoints
• Recovering files from air-gapped backups or unscathed machines
• Building a clean recovery environment
• Mapping and connecting datastores to reflect exactly their pre-encryption condition

Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond extorting payment for a decryption utility, modern variants of crypto-ransomware such as Ryuk, Maze, Netwalker, and Nephilim commonly attempt to exfiltrate files. TAs are then able to require an additional settlement in exchange for not divulging this information or selling it. Unfortunately, there is no method to be certain that stolen files have been completely erased by the threat actor. In fact, in numerous cases the threat actor has limited say over who can access the stolen files. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the necessity of seeking the advice of privacy lawyers, conducting an investigation into which files were compromised, and carrying out the necessary notifications to affected entities. Generally, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
