Ransomware Settlement Help
Progent's Ransomware Settlement Negotiation Consulting in San Francisco
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with hackers. Negotiating an optimum settlement is a complicated exercise that calls for a combination of real-word experience, technical knowledge and business savvy. It also demands close co-operation with the cyber-extortion target's IT team and the cyber insurance provider, if any. Because the number one priority of the ransomware target is operational continuity, it is critical to establish recovery groups that work efficiently, concurrently, and with intimate collaboration. Progent has the scope of IT skills and the depth of experts to supplement your network support team and restore your network environment rapidly and affordably.
Services offered by Progent's ransomware settlement negotiation experts include:
- Determining the kind of ransomware used in the assault
- Identifying and communicating with the hacker persona
- Evaluating the likelihood of recovery
- Testing the TA's decryption capabilities
- Budgeting a settlement with the victim and the cyber insurance carrier
- Establishing a settlement amount and schedule with the threat actor
- Verifying compliance with anti-money laundering sanctions
- Carrying out the crypto-currency payment to the TA
- Receiving, reviewing, and operating the hacker's decryptor utility
- If necessary, contacting the threat actor for assistance with the decryption utility
- Isolating affected endpoints and data stores to prevent further progress of the assault
- Creating digital copies of each infected server and endpoint and data store in order to perform forensics in parallel with recovery
- Adding anti-virus protection to all clean endpoints
- Recovering files from offline restores or unscathed endpoints
- Building a clean recovery environment
- Mapping and connecting datastores to reflect precisely their pre-attack state
Settling Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond demanding money for a decryption utility, modern variants of crypto-ransomware such as Ryuk, Sodinokibi, DopplePaymer, and Egregor often attempt to exfiltrate information. Hackers can then demand a separate ransom in exchange for not divulging this data or selling it. Sadly, there exists no method to prove that exfiltrated files have been totally deleted by the TA. Actually, in many cases the TA has limited say about where the information ends up. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the need for engaging the guidance of privacy lawyers, performing an investigation into which data were taken, and performing the mandated notifications to impacted entities. In general, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
