Since the top priority of the ransomware victim is operational continuity, it is critical to deploy recovery groups that work efficiently, in parallel, and in close communication. Progent has the scope of technical knowledge and the deep bench of personnel to complement your IT staff and recover your network environment rapidly and economically.

Paying Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond demanding money for a decryption utility, modern variants of crypto-ransomware such as Ryuk, Sodinokibi, Netwalker, and Egregor often attempt to exfiltrate information. Hackers are then able to require an additional payment for not publishing this data or selling it. Unfortunately, there is no method to guarantee that stolen files have been totally deleted by the hacker. In fact, in many instances the hacker has limited control over data custody. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the necessity of getting the guidance of privacy attorneys, performing an audit on which data were taken, and carrying out the required notifications to affected entities. In almost all cases, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
