Overview of Progent's Ransomware Settlement Negotiation Consulting in Joinville
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with hackers. Negotiating an optimum settlement is a complicated exercise that requires a combination of field experience, technical knowledge and business savvy. It also requires working closely with the victim's IT team and the cyber insurance provider, if any. Since the top priority of the ransomware victim is fast recovery, it is critical to deploy recovery groups that operate efficiently, concurrently, and in close communication. Progent has the breadth of technical knowledge and the deep bench of experts to complement your IT staff and restore your network quickly and economically.

• Installing A/V agents to all clean endpoints
• Salvaging data from air-gapped backups or unscathed machines
• Building a clean recovery environment
• Mapping and connecting datastores to match precisely their pre-encryption state

Exfiltration Ransoms
In addition to extorting money for a decryption utility, modern variants of ransomware like Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Nephilim commonly try to exfiltrate files. TAs can then demand a separate ransom for not divulging this data on the dark web. Unfortunately, there exists no way to be certain that stolen data have been completely erased by the threat actor. In fact, in numerous cases the threat actor has limited control about data custody. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the necessity of engaging the guidance of privacy lawyers, performing an investigation into which data were compromised, and performing the necessary alerts to affected entities. In almost all cases, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
