Overview of Progent's Ransomware Settlement Negotiation Services in Skokie
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors (TAs). Reaching an optimum settlement is a complicated activity that requires a mix of field experience, technical knowledge and business savvy. It also demands working closely with the ransomware victim's IT team and the cyber insurance provider, if there is one. Since the number one goal of the ransomware target is fast recovery, it is vital to establish response teams that work effectively, concurrently, and with intimate collaboration. Progent has the breadth of IT skills and the deep bench of experts to complement your network staff and restore your network environment rapidly and economically.

Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to demanding money for a decryption tool, current variants of ransomware like Ryuk, Sodinokibi, DopplePaymer, and Nephilim commonly try to exfiltrate files. Hackers can then require an additional ransom for not publishing this data on the dark web. Sadly, there is no way to prove that exfiltrated files have been totally deleted by the TA. Actually, in numerous cases the threat actor has limited say over data custody. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the need for engaging the guidance of privacy lawyers, performing an audit on which data were taken, and sending the required alerts to impacted entities. In general, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
