Pay to Play: Surviving and Winning Ransomware Negotiations in 2025
When cybercriminals hold your data hostage, do you pay the ransom or call their bluff? In 2024, only 25% of organizations paid ransoms—an all-time low—yet those who did pay still only achieved 46% full data recovery. In this talk, we'll dissect the high-stakes world of ransomware negotiations, where million-dollar decisions happen under extreme pressure.

Lunch & Learn: Securing AI Coding Assistants
