The Role of a Response Plan in Surviving a Cyber-Attack
Thursday, November 21 | 2:00 PM ET
It is not a matter of whether you will experience a cyber-attack but of when. Have a plan. Practice the plan. These two basic steps can be implemented at companies with varying maturity in cybersecurity, and they might save your business. Response plans can build off existing business continuity plans, but key elements of cyber-attacks differ greatly from other breaks in continuity that must be uniquely addressed. Join us to learn more about how to protect your business. This webinar is for companies of all sizes and their leadership, not just for cyber professionals.
