Robert Beggs, Founder and CEO, DigitalDefenceSurviving the Disaster - Secrets of a Successful Incident ResponseThe resent of wave of ransomware attacks is a bitter reminder that "patch and pray" is no longer an effective strategy for protecting a network and its data. Realistically, organizations have to act as if a security incident is inevitable, and be prepared to successfully manage that response. During this talk, we'll examine how both technical and management teams can optimize their response process - what are the tools, techniques, and processes that enable success. We'll cover the secrets of fighting back, including:
- How to effectively prepare for an incident
- The incident response policy
- Standard operating procedures - making your playbook
