Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Services in Calgary
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with adversaries. Negotiating an acceptable settlement is a complicated activity that requires a mix of real-word experience, technical skills and business acumen. It also demands close co-operation with the cyber-extortion target's IT team and the cyber insurance carrier, if any. Because the top goal of the ransomware victim is fast recovery, it is critical to deploy recovery groups that work efficiently, in parallel, and with intimate collaboration. Progent has the scope of IT skills and the deep bench of personnel to complement your IT staff and recover your network environment rapidly and economically.

Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to extorting payment for a decryption utility, modern variants of crypto-ransomware like Ryuk, Sodinokibi, DopplePaymer, and Egregor commonly attempt to steal (or "exfiltrate") files. Hackers are then able to require an additional payment in exchange for not publishing this information or selling it. Unfortunately, there exists no method to prove that stolen files have been totally erased by the hacker. Actually, in many instances the hacker has limited control over where the information ends up. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the need for seeking the advice of privacy attorneys, conducting an investigation into which files were stolen, and performing the required notifications to impacted entities. Generally, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
