QBITS 2025 Interview: Lessons from a Ransomware Negotiator

Ransomware response hinges on recoverability, negotiation strategy, and risk—not just paying ransom. Payment can still fail to restore systems.

Watch On Demand

Highlights

Recovery Over Ransom

Whether to pay depends less on pressure and more on whether systems can actually be restored safely and completely.

Double Extortion Reality

It’s rarely just encryption—stolen data and sensitivity risks often drive the true impact of an attack.

Time Is Leverage

Delaying and “strategic negotiation” can strengthen your position and reduce costs when handled with structure.

Payment Is No Guarantee

Even when ransom is paid, recovery can fail due to corrupted or incomplete encryption tools.
