Ransomware Negotiations – Field Guide
About

If you are dealing with a ransomware crisis, you need an advisor who understands how threat actors think. Utilizing a ransomware negotiator is not just about paying the ransom; it's also about gathering crucial tactical information about the incident or buying time for the victim to recover without paying a cent. A good negotiator will also know when to advise against negotiations, as some situations can worsen by engaging with the threat actors.
If negotiations are necessary, there is a strict protocol to follow, from timing to clear and straightforward communication with the threat actors. A skilled negotiator will avoid errors that have caused additional problems for companies in the past. This expert relies on experience and knowledge of threat actors’ techniques and past behavior to provide realistic expectations.
In this presentation, you will gain a behind-the-scenes look at the complexities of negotiating during ransomware attacks and learn how to secure the best possible help in the worst-case scenarios. Join us to understand the critical role of ransomware negotiators and how their expertise can make a significant difference in managing a cyber crisis.
