Progent's Ransomware Settlement Negotiation Consulting in Birmingham
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors (TAs). Reaching an acceptable settlement is a complicated exercise that requires a mix of field experience, technical knowledge and business acumen. It also demands close co-operation with the victim's IT team and the insurance carrier, if any. Because the top goal of the ransomware victim is fast recovery, it is critical to deploy response groups that operate effectively, concurrently, and with intimate collaboration. Progent offers the breadth of IT knowledge and the deep bench of experts to supplement your IT staff and recover your network rapidly and affordably.
Services offered by Progent's ransomware settlement team include:
Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond demanding payment for a decryption utility, modern variants of ransomware such as Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Egregor often try to exfiltrate files. Hackers can then demand an additional ransom for not posting this data on the dark web. Sadly, there exists no method to guarantee that stolen files have been totally erased by the hacker. In fact, in many instances the TA has limited control about where the information ends up. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the need for seeking the advice of legal counsel, performing an inventory of files were taken, and carrying out the necessary notifications to impacted entities. In general, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
