Progent's Ransomware Settlement Negotiation Services in Manchester
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors. Negotiating an optimum settlement is a complicated exercise that calls for a combination of real-word experience, technical knowledge and business acumen. It also requires working closely with the cyber-extortion target's IT team and the insurance provider, if any. Because the number one goal of the ransomware target is operational continuity, it is critical to establish recovery groups that operate efficiently, in parallel, and in close communication. Progent offers the scope of technical skills and the deep bench of personnel to complement your IT staff and recover your network rapidly and economically.

Settling Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to demanding money for a decryption utility, current variants of ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, Netwalker, and Egregor often attempt to steal (or "exfiltrate") files. Hackers can then demand a separate payment for not divulging this information on the dark web. Unfortunately, there is no way to prove that exfiltrated files have been completely deleted by the hacker. Actually, in many cases the TA has little control about data custody. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the necessity of getting the guidance of privacy lawyers, performing an investigation into which files were stolen, and carrying out the mandated notifications to impacted entities. Generally, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
