Director/owner Raymond Ouwens is your contact person for measures against extortion. Raymond will be happy to explain which solutions we can offer you.
Extortion is becoming an increasingly serious problem, partly because hackers regularly manage to gain access to digital systems and databases. Well-known are the ransomware attacks, in which IT company systems are held hostage and only released after payment. Individual people are also increasingly confronted with extortion, for example via social media or after their own computer has been hacked without their knowledge. For instance, the Chrome internet browser recently found suspicious code in its software, and Google also found traces of a Chinese hacker group in its Calendar software.
If you are being extorted, someone is trying to make you pay or do something in exchange for your own safety. Blackmail is more or less the same, except you are pressured with the possible disclosure of sensitive information about you.
In cases of extortion, blackmail, coercion, and threats, there is always an element of force, which is a criminal offense. Therefore, always report it to the police immediately, do not contact the perpetrator, and make sure to protect yourself properly. Nothing is more important than your personal safety. A threat to yourself or your family can quickly cause great distress. Cortex will assist you immediately and advise you on which measures to take. The responsibility for the correct implementation of these measures lies entirely with us.
We assess the threat if you are being extorted, analyze the risks, and propose customized security measures for you. Tailor-made solutions that provide maximum protection while having minimal impact on your and your family members' personal privacy. We call this Intelligent Security.
You and your family have your own personal contact. In the event of an emergency, you call your personal emergency number and we know who you are and which security measures are active for you even before we pick up the phone. Without losing valuable time and in direct contact with other relevant parties, such as emergency centers and the police, we handle the emergency quickly and efficiently for you.
The safety of you and your family is in the hands of a large team of experienced personal security officers at Cortex, who have gained years of experience working for many private and public clients as well as (specialist) units of the military and police. This includes senior security consultants, close protection officer, surveillance specialists, driving instructors, security managers, security coordinators, private investigators, and crisis management experts.
