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.
