Overview
FTI Consulting’s Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Communications practice is one of the only specialized cybersecurity communications groups in the industry. The practice provides expert crisis communications counsel and support throughout the entire lifecycle of a cyber incident, helping companies mitigate risks and preserve their reputation before, during and after the incident. The practice leverages first-hand experience having worked on hundreds of cybersecurity matters spanning preparedness, incident response, litigation support and reputation recovery across a wide variety of industries.
Specifically, the Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Communications team provides strategic crisis management counsel and support on highly scrutinized cyber and data privacy incidents, including those linked to AG investigations, class action litigation, congressional inquiries, investigative reporting or other foreign government investigations and involving major operational disruptions and legal notification processes. The team has handled incidents involving PII, IP, PHI, and has successfully navigated business email compromise, phishing and spear phishing, DDoS, credential stuffing, vendor compromise, critical infrastructure and nation-state and double-extortion ransomware attacks. The breadth of experience and multidisciplinary approach on these matters has positioned the practice as a well-respected and influential advisor in the cybersecurity and communications space alongside seasoned forensic investigators, cyber insurers and legal counsel.
The team consists of former intelligence agency officials, corporate communications leaders, journalists, attorneys, government spokespersons and Congressional investigators who have advised on or managed high-profile data security and privacy incidents. The team’s diverse background and scope of expertise allow it to provide clients, including Fortune 500 companies and other multinationals across sectors and geographies, with unique and effective solutions.
