with Guillermo Christensen , Billy Gouveia , James Taliento and Nicholas P.R. Steinmann
About this Session
Decisions whether to pay the extortion demanded in a ransomware incident can range from easy to extremely difficult, with many being the most challenging issue a company can confront. Our panel of experienced practitioners has advised and facilitated ransomware payment decisions for hundreds of companies. We have counseled the C-suite, the Board, and dealt with law enforcement and regulators. We will cover the core decision-making issues we come up against in a rapid-fire discussion with the background of many (anonymized) actual case studies.
