Overview of Progent's Ransomware Settlement Negotiation Consulting in Bristol
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors (TAs). Reaching an optimum settlement is a complex exercise that requires a mix of field experience, technical skills and business savvy. It also calls for working closely with the ransomware victim's IT team and the insurance carrier, if any. Since the number one priority of the ransomware victim is fast recovery, it is critical to deploy recovery groups that work efficiently, concurrently, and with intimate collaboration. Progent offers the breadth of technical knowledge and the deep bench of personnel to complement your network support team and recover your network environment rapidly and economically.

Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to extorting payment for a decryption tool, current strains of ransomware like Ryuk, Sodinokibi, DopplePaymer, and Nephilim commonly try to exfiltrate files. Hackers are then able to demand an additional ransom in exchange for not publishing this data on the dark web. Sadly, there exists no way to prove that exfiltrated files have been totally deleted by the TA. In fact, in numerous instances the TA has little control over where the information ends up. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the need for getting the advice of privacy attorneys, conducting an audit on which files were taken, and performing the required alerts to affected entities. In almost all cases, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
