Progent's Ransomware Settlement Negotiation Consulting in Kansas City
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors. Negotiating an acceptable settlement is a complicated exercise that requires a mix of field experience, technical knowledge and business acumen. It also requires close co-operation with the victim's IT team and the insurance provider, if there is one. Since the top priority of the ransomware victim is fast recovery, it is critical to deploy recovery teams that operate effectively, concurrently, and in close communication. Progent offers the scope of IT skills and the deep bench of personnel to complement your network support team and recover your network environment quickly and affordably.
Support offered by Progent's ransomware settlement team include:
Settling Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to extorting payment for a decryption utility, current variants of ransomware such as Ryuk, Maze, Netwalker, and Egregor commonly attempt to steal (or "exfiltrate") files. Hackers are then able to require a separate settlement for not divulging this data or selling it. Sadly, there exists no method to guarantee that exfiltrated files have been totally erased by the TA. Actually, in many instances the threat actor has limited say over data custody. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the necessity of seeking the advice of privacy attorneys, performing an inventory of data were compromised, and performing the required alerts to affected entities. In general, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
