Progent's Ransomware Negotiation Services in Monterrey
Progent is experienced in negotiating ransomware settlements with attackers. Reaching an optimum settlement is a complex exercise that calls for a mix of real-word experience, technical skills and business acumen. It also demands working closely with the cyber-extortion target's IT staff and the cyber insurance carrier, if any. Because the number one goal of the ransomware target is fast recovery, it is vital to establish recovery groups that work efficiently, concurrently, and with intimate collaboration. Progent has the breadth of technical knowledge and the deep bench of experts to supplement your network staff and restore your network quickly and economically.

Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond demanding payment for a decryption utility, current strains of ransomware like Ryuk, Sodinokibi, DopplePaymer, and Nephilim often try to steal (or "exfiltrate") files. TAs can then require an additional payment in exchange for not divulging this data on the dark web. Sadly, there exists no method to prove that exfiltrated files have been completely erased by the TA. Actually, in numerous cases the threat actor has little control over who can access the stolen files. Paying an exfiltration ransom does not eliminate the necessity of getting the advice of legal counsel, conducting an inventory of data were compromised, and carrying out the mandated notifications to affected entities. In almost all cases, paying an exfiltration ransom is not recommended.
