Progent's Ransomware Settlement Negotiation Services in Alpharetta
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors (TAs). Reaching an optimum settlement is a complex activity that calls for a combination of real-word experience, technical skills and business acumen. It also demands close co-operation with the cyber-extortion target's IT staff and the cyber insurance provider, if there is one. Since the top priority of the ransomware target is operational continuity, it is critical to deploy recovery teams that work effectively, concurrently, and in close communication. Progent has the scope of IT knowledge and the deep bench of personnel to complement your IT staff and restore your network environment rapidly and economically.
Services available from Progent's ransomware settlement negotiation team include:
Paying Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond demanding money for a decryption utility, current variants of ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Nephilim commonly attempt to steal (or "exfiltrate") information. TAs can then demand an extra payment in exchange for not posting this information or selling it. Sadly, there exists no way to prove that exfiltrated data have been totally erased by the hacker. In fact, in many cases the TA has limited control about who can access the stolen files. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the necessity of seeking the guidance of legal counsel, performing an audit on which data were compromised, and sending the required notifications to impacted entities. In general, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
