Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Consulting in Birmingham
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors. Negotiating an optimum settlement is a complex exercise that calls for a combination of field experience, IT skills and business acumen. It also requires close co-operation with the cyber-extortion target's IT staff and the cyber insurance carrier, if any. Because the top priority of the ransomware target is operational continuity, it is vital to establish recovery groups that work efficiently, concurrently, and with intimate collaboration. Progent offers the scope of technical skills and the depth of experts to supplement your IT support team and recover your network environment quickly and affordably.

Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to demanding payment for a decryption tool, current variants of crypto-ransomware such as Ryuk, Maze, Netwalker, and Egregor often try to exfiltrate information. Hackers can then demand a separate payment in exchange for not publishing this information or selling it. Sadly, there exists no way to prove that stolen files have been totally deleted by the hacker. In fact, in many cases the hacker has limited control about data custody. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the need for seeking the advice of legal counsel, performing an audit on which files were compromised, and carrying out the required alerts to impacted entities. In general, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
