We have grown used to reading about cyberattacks on a daily basis: stolen data sets, encrypted files and backups, business interruptions and payment of ransoms. Companies have been made aware that they must continuously develop their protective measures and nonetheless prepare for the worst-case scenario. Establishing incident response plans and recovery plans and practicing them in tabletop exercises is becoming the norm. Now is exactly the time to engage with the topic of resilience in the context of cyber incidents. Do we really have to switch everything off in an emergency? Doing so will certainly lead to the disruption of all business processes if this is not yet the effect of the attack. Isn’t there a way to think in advance about how (limited) operations can continue despite a compromise to make sure that you don’t have to send all your employees home? This would at least reduce the extent of the damage. In this presentation, I’ll show you what we’ve learned from several cyber incidents we’ve assisted with to help you improve your resilience and preparedness.
