Overview of Progent's Ransomware Settlement Negotiation Consulting in Bellevue
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors (TAs). Reaching an optimum settlement is a complex exercise that requires a combination of real-word experience, technical skills and business savvy. It also requires working closely with the victim's IT team and the cyber insurance provider, if any. Because the top priority of the ransomware target is operational continuity, it is critical to establish recovery groups that operate efficiently, in parallel, and with intimate collaboration. Progent offers the breadth of technical knowledge and the deep bench of personnel to complement your network staff and restore your network rapidly and affordably.
Support available from Progent's ransomware negotiation team include:
Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to demanding money for a decryption utility, current strains of ransomware such as Ryuk, Sodinokibi, DopplePaymer, and Nephilim often try to steal (or "exfiltrate") files. TAs can then demand an additional settlement for not posting this information on the dark web. Unfortunately, there is no way to guarantee that stolen files have been totally deleted by the hacker. Actually, in many cases the hacker has limited control about data custody. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the need for getting the guidance of privacy attorneys, performing an inventory of data were compromised, and performing the mandated alerts to affected entities. In general, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
