Alex Weintraub has negotiated directly with ransomware actors and received inappropriate images during lowball ransom offers. Empath lets security teams create incident-response courses, track progress, and build career pathways with real-world credibility instead of just theory.
How many of you teach your techs what to do for incident response? We'll help you teach it. We'll help you reinforce it because sometimes they just need to hear it from somebody who's not you. Alex Weintraub, the guy that does that, literally has been in chat messages with terrorists who have encrypted networks and he's having conversations with them about ransomwares and things like that. He's literally lived that world. He even tells some stories about some of the inappropriate pictures they've sent him when he sent too low an offer back and forth. Yeah, you get some weird and fun stuff apparently. Hopefully you guys don't wind up in that boat. But Empath is basically designed to continue to build new courses, put things out where you can actually track and see where your team is, and even build career pathways for your team.
