Testing your operational response and decision-making when facing a cyber-incident
Cyber security incidents are a case of “when” not “if” for organisations today. In this interactive session you’ll be exposed to the realities of a high impact cyber incident.
How well do you and your organisation stay afloat with decision-making and operational response, in the midst of uncertainty, external inquiries, myriad distractions, and competing time pressures?
Led by experts in incident response and cyber security operations, this session will prompt you to consider your governance role in cyber security and will provide you with valuable insights to help you retain decision making composure in the face of a cyber-threat.
