Calling in the Ransomware Negotiator

Sep 27, 2022 10:12:47 AM

This week, GroupSense CEO Kurtis Minder was featured on the Lock and Code podcast. During his episode, "Calling in the Ransomware Negotiator," Kurtis and host David Ruiz discuss the intricacies of ransomware negotiation. "In his experience, Minder has also learned that the current debate over whether companies should pay the ransom has too few options. For a lot of small and medium-sized businesses, the question isn't an ideological one, but an existential one: Pay the ransom or go out of business."

Tune in on your favorite podcast platform to listen to Kurtis discuss how a company decides to engage a ransomware negotiator, what a ransomware negotiator's experience and background consist of, and what the actual work of ransomware negotiation involves. Visit the Lock and Code website here.
