Overview

FTI Consulting’s Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Communications practice is one of the world’s largest cross-border crisis communications teams focused specifically on cybersecurity issues. Having grown the U.S. team over five-fold since 2020, the team has also expanded globally to LATAM, APAC and EMEA. 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 an 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, our practice provides strategic crisis management counsel and support around highly scrutinized cyber and data privacy incidents, including those linked to AG investigations, national security events, class action litigation, congressional inquiries, investigative reporting or other foreign government investigations and those involving major operational disruptions, significant data loss, 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, attacks to critical infrastructure, double-extortion ransomware attacks and incidents carried out by nation-states. 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 for years. 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.
