Academy Workshop: Cyber from the frontline to the boardroom, the ripple effect of an attack

This webinar will lift the lid on what happens when a business is hit by a cyberattack. The expert panel will explore the lifecycle of a cyber incident from the initial breach and chaos of response, to the long-term strategic, legal, and reputational consequences that land squarely in the boardroom.

Through real-world insights and expert commentary, our panel will discuss:

• The immediate impact of an attack
• The complexities of negotiating with cybercriminals and activating response protocols
• The long-tail risks, including third-party liability, regulatory scrutiny, and executive accountability

Key takeaways:

• Better understanding of the anatomy of a cyberattack from breach to boardroom, including what can wrong, and why.
• Best practice insight on how to prepare for the operational, legal, and reputational fallout of a cyber incident.
• Insight into incident response from those who are in the thick of it.

By the end of the session, you will be able to:

1.  Identify the anatomy of a cyberattack - and what can wrong, and why.
2.  Prepare better for the operational, legal, and reputational fallout of a cyber incident.
3.  Build better cyber resilience into risk management strategy and avoid common pitfalls.
4.  Identify considerations for board and reputational protection and how to prepare for and support executive decision-making under pressure during and post a cyber attack.
