Security News > 2023 > June > Winning the Mind Game: The Role of the Ransomware Negotiator

Get exclusive insights from a real ransomware negotiator who shares authentic stories from network hostage situations and how he managed them.

In June 2021, following the ransomware attacks on the Colonial Pipeline and JBS, the Byden administration announced that ransomware was a threat to National Security.

Managing a ransomware event is similar to managing a hostage situation.

To prepare for a ransomware incident, it is recommended for organizations to employ a similar crisis management structure.

According to Etay Maor, Senior Director Security Strategy at Cato Networks, "We're seeing more and more companies offering bundles of these ransomware services. However, it is recommended to separate these roles to ensure the most professional response."

Ransomware relies on phishing attacks and unpatched services.
