When: Thursday, 12 November, 2026

Location: Virtual
Event Details
Cyber attacks are no longer a question of if, but when. While many organisations invest in cyber security technologies, far fewer have tested how their people, processes and leadership teams would respond when a serious incident occurs.
Through real-world examples and practical scenarios, this session will challenge technology leaders to consider key questions: Who takes ownership when a cyber incident occurs? How are critical decisions made under pressure? Would your business continuity and recovery plans actually work? Has your executive team ever rehearsed a major cyber incident? How confident are you that key stakeholders know their roles and responsibilities?
This session will provide an insight into the decisions, challenges and consequences organisations face during a cyber attack, helping attendees assess their own level of preparedness and identify areas for improvement. Whether you’re responsible for cyber security, infrastructure, cloud services or overall IT strategy, you’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what good cyber resilience looks like and the steps needed to prepare for the inevitable.
- Understand the key stages of a cyber incident and how attacks typically unfold.
- Assess whether your organisation is truly prepared to respond to a major cyber event.
- Identify common gaps in incident response, business continuity and disaster recovery planning.
- Explore the roles and responsibilities of IT, leadership, communications and operational teams during a crisis. Learn why cyber crisis exercises and simulations are becoming an essential part of organisational resilience.
- Take away practical actions to improve preparedness before an incident occurs.
