Overview of Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Services in Plano
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors (TAs). Negotiating an optimum settlement is a complicated activity that requires a combination of real-word experience, technical skills and business savvy. It also requires close co-operation with the victim's IT team and the cyber insurance provider, if any. Since the number one goal of the ransomware victim is operational continuity, it is vital to deploy recovery teams that operate effectively, concurrently, and in close communication. Progent has the scope of technical knowledge and the deep bench of personnel to complement your network support team and recover your network environment quickly and affordably.
Services available from Progent's ransomware settlement negotiation team include:
Paying Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to demanding payment for a decryption tool, modern variants of ransomware such as Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Egregor commonly attempt to exfiltrate information. Hackers can then require an additional payment for not posting this data on the dark web. Sadly, there is no method to be certain that stolen files have been completely erased by the TA. Actually, in numerous instances the TA has limited say about who can access the stolen files. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the need for getting the advice of legal counsel, performing an audit on which data were compromised, and sending the necessary notifications to impacted entities. Generally, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
