Fundamentals of Response and Recovery
When faced with a cyber incident, do you know how your company will respond? This session is an in-depth discussion of what it takes to develop, implement, test and revise a cyber incident response plan. From the roles and responsibilities of team members to storage and usage of the plan itself, learn what it takes to move from abstract discussion to an executable document.

3:45–4:15 p.m.

Effective Monitoring and Detection
Despite our best efforts, cyber breaches are inevitable; however, impact can be limited by effective monitoring and early detection that captures essential response information. Learn techniques used for early detection and how to confidently determine how an attack occurred, what systems and data were compromised, and if the threat has been removed.
