Overview of Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Consulting in Greensboro
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors (TAs). Reaching an optimum settlement is a complicated exercise that calls for a combination of real-word experience, technical knowledge and business acumen. It also requires close co-operation with the victim's IT staff and the insurance carrier, if there is one. Since the number one priority of the ransomware target is fast recovery, it is critical to establish recovery teams that operate efficiently, in parallel, and in close communication. Progent has the breadth of IT skills and the deep bench of experts to supplement your IT staff and restore your network rapidly and economically.

Settling Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond extorting payment for a decryption utility, current variants of crypto-ransomware like Ryuk, Sodinokibi, DopplePaymer, and Nephilim commonly attempt to exfiltrate files. Hackers can then demand an extra payment in exchange for not posting this information on the dark web. Unfortunately, there exists no method to prove that exfiltrated files have been totally erased by the TA. In fact, in numerous cases the TA has little control over data custody. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the necessity of getting the advice of legal counsel, conducting an audit on which data were taken, and carrying out the required notifications to impacted entities. In almost all cases, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
