I've worked with Kurtis across multiple companies and client engagements. On ransomware and cyber matters, he's as knowledgeable as anyone in the industry — and he pairs that expertise with a work ethic and professionalism that's rare.
When I put Kurtis in front of a client, I never wonder how it will go. I know they'll get the best.

It was a pleasure having Kurtis Minder as the keynote speaker for our 2024 Western Colorado Economic Summit in Grand Junction, Colorado. His presentation on cybersecurity and emerging digital threats was timely, engaging, and incredibly well received by our business and community leaders. Kurtis has a unique ability to take highly technical topics and make them relatable, actionable, and compelling for a broad audience.
​
I would highly recommend Kurtis Minder to any organization looking for a keynote speaker who can educate, energize, and leave a lasting impression.
Managing Director
Kurtis is one of the most capable and level‑headed ransomware negotiators with whom I have worked. He brings clarity, calm, and strategic discipline to situations in which every decision carries real consequence.
His background in building and leading GroupSense — a firm known for its curated threat‑intelligence programs and its ability to infiltrate name‑and‑shame sites, auction forums, and other criminal ecosystems — gives him a depth of insight into ransomware operations that few practitioners possess.
He combines that intelligence foundation with a human‑centered negotiation approach that consistently protects victims at their most vulnerable.

Kurtis has revolutionized the way our agency investigates cybercrime and cryptocurrency related offenses. His expertise and assistance have been instrumental in helping us solve cases that may otherwise have remained unsolved. Kurtis has a unique ability to take highly complex investigations and break them down into concepts that are straightforward and easy to understand.
His willingness to assist law enforcement, combined with his professionalism and clear communication style, allows investigators to effectively relay technical information to the members of the community we serve. While financial losses cannot always be recovered for victims, Kurtis’s guidance and expertise help us manage expectations while providing victims with a better understanding of the investigative process.
In addition, Kurtis has played an important role in educating both investigators and the public on cybercrime and scam prevention, helping to prevent future victimization and financial loss. His dedication, professionalism, and knowledge have made a significant impact on our investigations and community outreach efforts.
