The rise of ransomware has been driven by businesses' growing dependence on technology and data.
Cyber attacks are becoming more sophisticated, targeted, widespread and damaging. In recent years we observed many cases when manufacturing plants were seriously damaged by cyber-attacks, and electricity grids and automobiles were shut down by hackers. Cybercrime is no longer only about the loss of information. Digital Threats Turn Physical. Many companies are not ready for the challenge.
We help managers and organizations to minimize the financial and reputational damage; support crisis managers.
We provide crisis consulting services and full-scale cyber negotiation management service.
When the cyber crisis is not managed professionally, it may ruin even a very successful company in days.
The "cost-of-no-deal" might occur higher than managers expect from the first sight: destroyed production facilities, intellectual property theft, data and software loss, source code theft, reflected in stock prices drop, loss of investors, clients, business partners - heavy financial, technological and reputation damage.
Competitive edge to winning against hackers lies in understanding the human factor. Understanding the human "why?" is more important than knowing the technological "what?".
