Overview of Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Consulting in Brighton
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with attackers. Negotiating an optimum settlement is a complex exercise that requires a combination of real-word experience, technical skills and business acumen. It also demands close co-operation with the cyber-extortion target's IT staff and the insurance carrier, if there is one. Because the top priority of the ransomware target is fast recovery, it is vital to establish response teams that work efficiently, in parallel, and in close communication. Progent has the breadth of IT skills and the depth of experts to complement your network staff and recover your network quickly and affordably.

Settling Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond extorting money for a decryption utility, current strains of crypto-ransomware such as Ryuk, Sodinokibi, Netwalker, and Nephilim often try to steal (or "exfiltrate") files. Hackers can then demand an additional ransom in exchange for not publishing this data on the dark web. Unfortunately, there exists no method to be certain that exfiltrated data have been totally deleted by the threat actor. In fact, in numerous cases the TA has limited say about data custody. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the necessity of engaging the guidance of privacy lawyers, conducting an investigation into which files were compromised, and performing the mandated notifications to impacted entities. In general, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
