Overview of Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Services in Baltimore
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors. Reaching an acceptable settlement is a complicated exercise that requires a combination of field experience, IT skills and business savvy. It also demands close co-operation with the cyber-extortion target's IT staff and the cyber insurance carrier, if any. Since the top goal of the ransomware target is operational continuity, it is critical to deploy response groups that operate effectively, concurrently, and in close communication. Progent offers the breadth of technical knowledge and the deep bench of personnel to supplement your IT support team and recover your network environment rapidly and affordably.

Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to extorting payment for a decryption tool, current variants of crypto-ransomware such as Ryuk, Maze, Netwalker, and Nephilim commonly try to steal (or "exfiltrate") files. TAs are then able to demand a separate settlement for not publishing this data on the dark web. Unfortunately, there exists no method to guarantee that exfiltrated data have been totally deleted by the TA. In fact, in numerous instances the threat actor has limited say about data custody. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the necessity of engaging the advice of privacy attorneys, conducting an inventory of files were compromised, and carrying out the mandated alerts to affected entities. In almost all cases, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
