Overview of Progent's Ransomware Settlement Negotiation Services in Detroit
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors (TAs). Negotiating an optimum settlement is a complex activity that calls for a combination of real-word experience, IT knowledge and business acumen. It also calls for working closely with the cyber-extortion target's IT staff and the insurance carrier, if any. Since the number one goal of the ransomware target is fast recovery, it is critical to deploy response groups that work efficiently, concurrently, and in close communication. Progent offers the breadth of technical skills and the deep bench of experts to supplement your IT staff and recover your network quickly and economically.
Support offered by Progent's ransomware negotiation team include:
Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to extorting money for a decryption tool, current variants of ransomware such as Ryuk, Maze, Netwalker, and Nephilim commonly try to exfiltrate information. Hackers are then able to require an additional payment for not posting this data or selling it. Sadly, there exists no way to be certain that exfiltrated data have been completely deleted by the hacker. Actually, in numerous cases the threat actor has limited say over where the information ends up. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the necessity of getting the guidance of privacy lawyers, conducting an inventory of data were stolen, and sending the required alerts to impacted entities. In almost all cases, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
