Armada’s Approach: Negotiation Is the Key to Surviving Your Worst Day in Business
Born out of a cyber insurance brokerage, we saw the chaos that follows a breach when companies don’t know who to call or what to do. That’s why we built an in-house negotiation and intelligence team designed to operate as an extension of yours.
Here’s what that proactive partnership looks like:
Your In-House Team, Already Assembled
Direct Access to Veteran Negotiators
Our team has led hundreds of high-stakes ransomware conversations. No third-party delays, no vendor uncertainty; you already know who’s leading your negotiation, and they already understand your business.Integrated Threat Intel & Dark Web Insights
We don’t just show up when the ransom note hits. Armada monitors real-time threat actor activity, leaked credentials, and dark web chatter so we’re ready to act with context and leverage.Rooted in Insurance, Focused on Outcomes
Our background in insurance means we proactively align with your policy, legal counsel, and requirements long before the first alert goes off.Pre-Breach Strategy
You’ll meet your negotiator and risk readiness team before you ever need them and define roles so your team can act decisively, not react chaotically.
The Case for Proactive Planning: Negotiation by the Numbers
Globally, fewer than 300 full-time Threat Actor negotiators work on behalf of companies, specializing in mitigating cyber extortion and ransomware incidents. Their expertise plays a critical role in risk management, crisis negotiation, and strategic decision-making, ensuring organizations navigate complex cyber threats effectively.
<5% of companies have a ransomware negotiator identified before a breach
80% of organizations rely on unfamiliar third-party vendors during a live incident
Skilled negotiators can reduce ransom demands by 60–90% and often help avoid payment altogether
Delayed or uncoordinated responses can lead to higher costs, regulatory exposure, and reputational harm
Without prior OFAC screening, companies risk inadvertent violations of federal sanctions
Proactive planning and team alignment result in faster recovery times and lower overall impact
