Overview of Progent's Ransomware Settlement Negotiation Consulting in Garland
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors. Reaching an acceptable settlement is a complicated exercise that calls for a mix of field experience, IT knowledge and business acumen. It also demands working closely with the ransomware victim's IT team and the insurance carrier, if any. Because the top goal of the ransomware target is fast recovery, it is vital to establish recovery groups that work effectively, in parallel, and with intimate collaboration. Progent has the breadth of IT knowledge and the deep bench of experts to complement your network staff and recover your network environment quickly and affordably.
Services available from Progent's ransomware settlement team include:
Paying Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to extorting money for a decryption utility, current strains of ransomware such as Ryuk, Sodinokibi, Netwalker, and Egregor often attempt to exfiltrate information. TAs are then able to demand an extra ransom in exchange for not publishing this data or selling it. Sadly, there is no method to be certain that stolen files have been totally erased by the TA. In fact, in many cases the hacker has limited control about where the information ends up. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the need for getting the advice of legal counsel, conducting an audit on which files were stolen, and sending the necessary alerts to impacted entities. In almost all cases, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
