Track 3
5 Feb 2022 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

The threat of ransomware is ever-evolving, just as artificial intelligence is. It’s clear that businesses need better defense, but the answer isn’t solely AI – it’s actually human intelligence.

In this session, Bryce Webster-Jacobsen, an expert ransomware negotiator who deals with ransomware negotiations on a daily basis, will challenge the ideas of human intelligence versus artificial intelligence when it comes to ransomware attacks. Learn how expert ransomware negotiators can validate the reputation of the threat actor and why dark web monitoring and human reconnaissance is an indispensable part of the resolution process.
