Overview of Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Consulting in Santos
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors. Reaching an optimum settlement is a complicated activity that calls for a mix of real-word experience, technical skills and business savvy. It also calls for close co-operation with the ransomware victim's IT team and the insurance provider, if any. Since the number one priority of the ransomware target is fast recovery, it is critical to establish recovery groups that operate effectively, concurrently, and with intimate collaboration. Progent offers the breadth of IT knowledge and the deep bench of experts to supplement your network support team and restore your network quickly and economically.

Paying Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to extorting money for a decryption utility, modern strains of ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Nephilim often try to exfiltrate files. TAs can then demand an additional ransom in exchange for not divulging this data on the dark web. Sadly, there is no method to be certain that exfiltrated files have been completely erased by the threat actor. In fact, in numerous cases the hacker has limited say over data custody. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the need for seeking the guidance of privacy attorneys, conducting an audit on which files were stolen, and carrying out the required alerts to affected entities. Generally, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
