Negotiating Ransomware Attacks
World class Cyber Incident Response Training in Partnership with GroupSense.
Ransomware has become a feature of the cyber landscape.
Mindful Negotiating and GroupSense have partnered to bring you a comprehensive package to combat possible ransomware scenarios in your business.
To manage the concurrent negotiation tables amongst the Victim organization, the Threat Actor, and Law Enforcement, we’ve designed a two-day Ransomware Negotiation Training to minimize ransom costs and operational downtime.
Why invest in a ransomware negotiation training program?
FBI ransomware complaints increased 62% from 2020 to 2021. Having a plan in place before an attacker gets into your system is crucial in increasing organizational security.
If you or your clients suffer a ransomware attack, negotiating with the threat actors is crucial to getting your business back up and running and reducing permanent data loss.

“The ransomware negotiation training was eye-opening, informative, fun, and engaging. Coming from a background in Intelligence and Interrogation, the course led by Max and Kurtis provided great insight and value to all who attended from my team, giving us refinement on applicable skills almost immediately.
There is much more to it than communicating with the threat actor, and I encourage anyone participating to consider the importance of the negotiations at all tables and to be active listeners and students throughout the course.”
TJ Ramsey Sr. Director, Threat Assessment Operations, Fortified Health
“After participating in the Ransomware Negotiation Training, our team members have gained a thorough understanding of negotiation best practices and have the confidence to handle complex threat actors.
The facilitators demonstrated a level of flexibility that only experts can deliver, and by sharing their first-hand experiences, our team has developed a better understanding of what truly matters during a negotiation.
The training provided invaluable insights and skills that will enhance our ability to negotiate effectively on behalf of our clients.”
