Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Consulting in Cheyenne
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors (TAs). Negotiating an optimum settlement is a complex activity that requires a mix of field experience, technical knowledge and business savvy. It also calls for working closely with the victim's IT team and the insurance provider, if there is one. Since the top goal of the ransomware target is operational continuity, it is vital to deploy recovery teams that work efficiently, concurrently, and with intimate collaboration. Progent offers the scope of technical knowledge and the depth of personnel to complement your IT support team and recover your network environment rapidly and economically.

Paying Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to extorting payment for a decryption tool, current strains of crypto-ransomware such as Ryuk, Sodinokibi, Netwalker, and Egregor often try to exfiltrate information. TAs can then require a separate settlement in exchange for not divulging this information on the dark web. Unfortunately, there exists no method to prove that exfiltrated files have been completely deleted by the TA. In fact, in many cases the hacker has little control over the disposition of the data. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the necessity of seeking the advice of legal counsel, performing an inventory of files were stolen, and performing the required alerts to impacted entities. In almost all cases, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
