Kurtis Minder: Ransomware Negotiator and CEO of Group Sense | What To Do When Your Data’s Being Held Ransom - Episode 27 - a podcast by Perkins Coie LLP

Kurtis Minder is the founder and CEO of GroupSense. He is one of very few with significant experience negotiating with the “bad guys” during ransomware attacks. GroupSense offers digital risk protection from threats across all environments, and Kurtis himself has over 20 years of information security experience spanning operations, design, and business development. He has successfully guided the company in developing an innovative approach to cyber intelligence.

Kurtis joins Dominique Shelton Leipzig and David Biderman on the Decrypted Unscripted podcast to discuss how GroupSense’s team of cyberspies knows how to find where the bad guys are operating and work with clients to protect their data. He describes in detail how he became the “go-to” ransomware negotiator in the country. He also explains the dark web and how it helps criminals steal information and shares why his team has seen a steady increase in threat actors accessing data remotely over the last 12 months.

Kurtis was featured in an article in The New Yorker, titled “How to Negotiate with Ransomware Hackers,” on 6/7/2021. You can find the article here:
