Overview of Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Consulting in Bristol
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors. Reaching an acceptable settlement is a complicated exercise that requires a mix of field experience, technical skills and business acumen. It also calls for close co-operation with the cyber-extortion target's IT staff and the cyber insurance provider, if any. Because the top goal of the ransomware target is fast recovery, it is vital to establish response teams that operate efficiently, in parallel, and in close communication. Progent has the breadth of technical skills and the deep bench of personnel to complement your network staff and restore your network quickly and economically.

Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond extorting money for a decryption utility, current variants of crypto-ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Egregor often try to steal (or "exfiltrate") files. TAs are then able to demand a separate settlement in exchange for not publishing this information on the dark web. Unfortunately, there is no way to prove that exfiltrated data have been totally deleted by the threat actor. In fact, in numerous cases the hacker has little say about who can access the stolen files. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the need for seeking the guidance of privacy lawyers, conducting an audit on which files were stolen, and carrying out the required notifications to affected entities. In general, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
