Ransomware Settlement Help
Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Services in Santos
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with threat actors. Reaching an optimum settlement is a complicated exercise that calls for a combination of field experience, technical knowledge and business acumen. It also requires close co-operation with the ransomware victim's IT team and the insurance provider, if there is one. Since the top goal of the ransomware target is operational continuity, it is vital to deploy response teams that operate effectively, concurrently, and in close communication. Progent offers the scope of technical knowledge and the deep bench of personnel to complement your network staff and restore your network quickly and economically.

- Determining the type of ransomware used in the assault
- Identifying and communicating with the hacker
- Assessing the recovery risk
- Verifying the hacker's decryption capabilities

Settling Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond extorting money for a decryption tool, modern strains of crypto-ransomware such as Ryuk, Sodinokibi, Netwalker, and Nephilim commonly attempt to steal (or "exfiltrate") information. TAs can then demand an additional ransom for not divulging this information on the dark web. Unfortunately, there exists no way to guarantee that exfiltrated files have been totally erased by the hacker. In fact, in numerous instances the hacker has little say over the disposition of the data. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the necessity of getting the guidance of privacy lawyers, performing an audit on which files were taken, and sending the required alerts to affected entities. Generally, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
