Overview of Progent's Ransomware Settlement Negotiation Consulting in Appleton
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with attackers. Reaching an acceptable settlement is a complicated activity that calls for a mix of field experience, IT skills and business acumen. It also requires working closely with the cyber-extortion target's IT staff and the insurance provider, if any. Since the number one priority of the ransomware target is operational continuity, it is critical to establish recovery groups that work effectively, in parallel, and in close communication. Progent has the breadth of IT skills and the depth of experts to supplement your IT support team and restore your network environment rapidly and affordably.
Services provided by Progent's ransomware negotiation team include:
Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to demanding money for a decryption utility, current strains of crypto-ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, Netwalker, and Nephilim commonly try to exfiltrate information. TAs can then require a separate settlement in exchange for not publishing this information on the dark web. Unfortunately, there exists no way to be certain that stolen files have been totally erased by the threat actor. In fact, in numerous cases the TA has little control over who can access the stolen files. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the need for engaging the guidance of legal counsel, conducting an investigation into which files were stolen, and sending the mandated notifications to impacted entities. In almost all cases, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
