Developing an impact-focused cyber breach exercise

A stark reality of today’s world is that businesses must constantly defend against relentless attempts to steal their computer data or damage their systems. Few, however, have serious plans for how they will respond to the impact of an actual breach – and even fewer stress-test those plans. Such exercises force real-time situation analysis and decision-making while recognizing that cyber incidents are infinitely more complicated than other events.

Regina Phelps, an internationally recognized thought leader in the field of emergency management, pandemic and contingency planning, will be leading a half-day workshop at the Secure360 Twin Cities pre-conference on Monday, May 15 from 12:30-4:30 PM. This workshop shows business continuity planners, crisis managers, and their IT counterparts how to stage a cyber breach exercise that will test preparedness, surface “hidden” circumstances, and sharpen the responsiveness of everyone from top executives to front-line business managers and technologists.

Attendees will learn how to go about developing a realistic cyber exercise that will challenge the incident (crisis) management team, the technology staff, and the business units. They will leave this workshop having thought out some key aspects of a cyber tabletop exercise, with knowledge of the seven essentials to designing a cyber exercise, and a new focus on business impact, reputation and brand management.
