Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Consulting
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors. Reaching an optimum settlement is a complicated exercise that calls for a combination of real-word experience, technical skills and business acumen. It also calls for close co-operation with the ransomware victim's IT staff and the cyber insurance carrier, if there is one. Since the number one priority of the ransomware victim is operational continuity, it is critical to establish recovery teams that work efficiently, concurrently, and with intimate collaboration. Progent has the scope of IT knowledge and the deep bench of personnel to supplement your network staff and recover your network quickly and affordably.

Paying Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond demanding payment for a decryption utility, modern strains of ransomware like Ryuk, Sodinokibi, Netwalker, and Nephilim often try to exfiltrate information. TAs are then able to demand a separate payment for not divulging this information on the dark web. Unfortunately, there exists no method to guarantee that stolen files have been totally deleted by the TA. Actually, in many instances the hacker has little say over where the information ends up. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the necessity of seeking the advice of privacy lawyers, performing an inventory of data were taken, and performing the required notifications to impacted entities. In general, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
