Join this interactive segment with hypothetical scenarios to work through expected and lesser-known scenarios, actions and outcomes. Delve into the essential best practices and strategies for rolling out an effective action plan, and tackling hurdles to incident response:

  • Determining the response to an IT issue that doesn’t get raised to the board or senior management
    • Identifying what a routine response looks like
    • Analyzing the hallmarks of an incident to measure severity and if it amounts to a crisis
  • Responding to a progressively more severe situation and ransomware demand
    • Recent examples of how (and how not) to respond to a ransomware demand
    • Examining what the company policy says, and how it may apply to different situations
    • Determining whether or not to pay or not pay ransomware
  • Communicating your company’s position when the event goes public
    • Analyzing how a cyber incident changes when it becomes public
    • How to respond when the company is a consumer facing business
    • Responding to media attention and scrutiny
  • Implementing a resiliency and redundancy plan
    • Implementing the full plan for crisis recovery
    • Defining what business continuity looks like-and what needs to change moving forward
