The Negotiation of Data and Ransomware
When companies’ data are held hostage and they are presented with a demand for payment, should they just go ahead and pay? The U.S. government urges them not to, but many victims see payment as the quickest – and sometimes cheapest – solution. Kurtis Minder is a ransomware negotiator and joins the show to explain why this is.
