Incident response handling workshop

About

Cyber incidents affecting the sector continue to grow in number and severity, often taking organisations offline for extended periods, severely impacting business continuity, revenue, and reputation.

The biggest misconception in an incident is that the organisation should be “business as normal” immediately after. In fact, depending on the severity of the incident it could be several weeks before the business returns to “normal”.

In this workshop, we will work through the six phases of the incident response lifecycle to encourage you to think about an incident as a constant cycle of improvement. You will be able to build policies/procedures, change the way you prepare for future incidents and determine these improvements to help prevent more incidents.

This is a ground up workshop that will give you a better understanding of the incident response phases and how these basic principles should underpin your organisation’s preparation, response and recovery.

Training outcomes

By the end of the workshop, you will:

• Understand the fundamentals of incident response
• Understand the incident response lifecycle and how/why this should be applied to every cyber incident

Who should attend?
