In this interactive one-hour workshop, you'll experience the realities of a cyber-attack through a real-world scenario based on incidents that have impacted organisations across education, research and the public sector.
As critical systems become unavailable, services are disrupted, and difficult decisions need to be made, you'll be challenged to consider how your organisation would respond. Could you prioritise the right actions, maintain essential operations, and minimise the impact on staff and stakeholders?
Drawing on our extensive experience supporting organisations through cyber incidents, this workshop explores the key decisions leaders face before, during and after an attack. You'll gain valuable insight into the operational, financial and reputational consequences of a major cyber incident, alongside practical steps to strengthen resilience and improve preparedness.
What you'll learn
- The real-world impact a cyber attack can have on your organisation
- The critical decisions leaders must make during a cyber incident
- Common barriers to building cyber resilience and how to overcome them
- Your role and responsibilities in preparing for and responding to an attack
- Practical actions you can take now to strengthen your organisation's cyber posture
Why attend
A major cyber incident can disrupt teaching, research, business operations and public services within hours. Organisations that prepare in advance are better positioned to respond effectively, recover faster and reduce long-term damage. Join us to test your readiness, challenge assumptions and gain practical insights that could make all the difference when a real incident occurs.
