Masterclass 8: Masterclass 8: IT Held Hostage - Crisis Management and Ransomware Negotiations. (ENGLISH)

It's happened: your company has fallen victim to a cyberattack. Important data has been encrypted and cannot be recovered. You are considering paying the ransom to the cybercriminals. But is that the best option? In this masterclass, learn how attackers plan and execute their ransomware attacks and why they are, in fact, quite willing to negotiate. Our guest Michael Sjøberg explains how to take advantage of this. Michael is trained as a negotiator by New Scotland Yard, helped establish the Danish Defence hostage management concept, and advises both public and private organisations on crisis leadership, crisis communication, and strategic incident handling. He shares how to build decision-making rhythm, manage stakeholders, handle uncertainty, and maintain control of messaging and direction when the pressure is highest.

You will learn from the attackers' perspective, which gaps they frequently exploit and which loopholes they set up for follow-up attacks. You will also recognize where the limits lie for criminals when you confront them quickly and confidently.

After the webinar, you will be able to quickly regain your ability to act in the event of an incident, close security gaps, and minimize financial damage. Your top priority is to be prepared in order to make fast decisions with incomplete information, competing priorities, and real operational pressure.
