Overview of Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Consulting in Phoenix
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors. Negotiating an optimum settlement is a complex activity that calls for a combination of real-word experience, IT skills and business acumen. 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 target is fast recovery, it is critical to deploy response groups that operate effectively, concurrently, and in close communication. Progent has the scope of IT knowledge and the deep bench of experts to complement your IT support team and restore your network quickly and affordably.

Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond extorting money for a decryption utility, current strains of ransomware such as Ryuk, Sodinokibi, DopplePaymer, and Egregor commonly try to exfiltrate information. Hackers can then demand an extra settlement for not divulging this data on the dark web. Sadly, there is no way to prove that exfiltrated data have been completely erased by the hacker. In fact, in many instances the hacker has little control over who can access the stolen files. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the necessity of seeking the advice of legal counsel, performing an investigation into which files were stolen, and carrying out the required alerts to impacted entities. Generally, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
