Overview of Progent's Ransomware Settlement Negotiation Consulting in Birmingham
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors. Negotiating an acceptable settlement is a complicated activity that requires a combination of real-word experience, IT knowledge and business savvy. It also demands close co-operation with the ransomware victim's IT team and the cyber insurance carrier, if any. Since the number one priority of the ransomware target is operational continuity, it is vital to deploy recovery groups that work effectively, in parallel, and with intimate collaboration. Progent offers the breadth of technical knowledge and the deep bench of experts to supplement your network support team and recover your network rapidly and economically.

Settling Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond demanding money for a decryption utility, modern variants of ransomware such as Ryuk, Maze, DopplePaymer, and Nephilim commonly try to exfiltrate information. TAs are then able to demand a separate settlement in exchange for not divulging this data or selling it. Unfortunately, there exists no method to be certain that exfiltrated data have been completely erased by the threat actor. In fact, in many instances the TA has limited control about the disposition of the data. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the necessity of seeking the guidance of legal counsel, conducting an inventory of files were stolen, and performing the required alerts to impacted entities. In general, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
