Overview of Progent's Ransomware Settlement Negotiation Consulting in Louisville
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with hackers. Reaching an acceptable settlement is a complicated activity that requires a combination of real-word experience, technical knowledge and business savvy. It also demands close co-operation with the victim's IT staff and the insurance carrier, if there is one. Since the top goal of the ransomware victim is operational continuity, it is critical to deploy response groups that work effectively, in parallel, and with intimate collaboration. Progent offers the breadth of IT skills and the deep bench of experts to supplement your network staff and restore your network quickly and affordably.

Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond extorting payment for a decryption utility, current variants of crypto-ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Nephilim commonly try to exfiltrate files. Hackers can then demand an additional payment for not posting this data on the dark web. Unfortunately, there exists no way to be certain that exfiltrated files have been completely erased by the TA. Actually, in numerous cases the threat actor has little say over the disposition of the data. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the need for seeking the advice of legal counsel, conducting an investigation into which data were compromised, and carrying out the necessary notifications to impacted entities. Generally, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
