A cyber incident can quickly become a business problem involving customers, suppliers, staff, money and reputation, not just an IT issue. When systems are unavailable or information may have been compromised, the quality of decisions made in the first few hours can have a major impact on recovery. Using realistic scenarios, the discussion will focus on the decisions leaders may need to make when an incident happens. Roles and responsibilities, communications, third-party dependencies, backups and business continuity will all be examined, alongside the actions that are better agreed before pressure hits. By the end, businesses should have a clearer idea of what a workable response plan looks like, which questions need answering internally and where practical preparation can make recovery quicker and less disruptive.
