Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Consulting in Baltimore
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors. Negotiating an acceptable settlement is a complicated exercise that calls for a combination of real-word experience, technical knowledge and business acumen. It also calls for close co-operation with the cyber-extortion target's IT team and the insurance carrier, if any. Since the top goal of the ransomware victim is operational continuity, it is critical to establish response groups that work effectively, in parallel, and in close communication. Progent offers the breadth of IT knowledge and the deep bench of experts to supplement your IT staff and restore your network quickly and affordably.

Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond demanding money for a decryption tool, modern variants of ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, Netwalker, and Egregor often try to exfiltrate files. TAs are then able to demand an extra ransom in exchange for not publishing this information on the dark web. Unfortunately, there is no method to be certain that exfiltrated files have been completely deleted by the threat actor. In fact, in numerous instances the TA has limited control over the disposition of the data. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the need for getting the advice of privacy lawyers, conducting an inventory of files were stolen, and sending the necessary notifications to affected entities. Generally, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
