Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Services in Cambridge
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors (TAs). Negotiating an acceptable settlement is a complicated exercise that requires a mix of real-word experience, IT knowledge and business acumen. It also requires working closely with the cyber-extortion target's IT team and the cyber insurance provider, if there is one. Because the top priority of the ransomware victim is operational continuity, it is critical to deploy recovery teams that work efficiently, concurrently, and with intimate collaboration. Progent offers the scope of technical skills and the deep bench of experts to complement your IT support team and restore your network environment quickly and economically.
Services provided by Progent's ransomware settlement experts include:
Paying Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to demanding money for a decryption tool, current variants of ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Egregor often attempt to steal (or "exfiltrate") information. TAs are then able to demand an additional settlement for not publishing this data on the dark web. Unfortunately, there exists no method to guarantee that exfiltrated files have been totally erased by the TA. Actually, in many instances the threat actor has little say over the disposition of the data. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the need for seeking the guidance of privacy attorneys, conducting an audit on which files were taken, and sending the mandated alerts to impacted entities. Generally, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
