Speaking recently on Code and Country, a cyber security podcast hosted by Plurilock, Brent Arnold , a partner in Gowling WLG’s Cyber Security & Data Protection Group, shared key considerations for companies facing ransomware attacks and public data breaches. The episode explores what happens behind the scenes during a cyber crisis—from early detection to post-breach litigation.

Brent discussed ransomware negotiation strategies, explaining that when a breach is high-profile enough to spark public or media attention, response efforts must be carefully managed.

“What you are saying publicly about this all becomes a matter of record if there’s going to be litigation, so it has to be done very carefully,” said Brent.
