From hacking victim to CIRP champion

For those working in IT and/or IT security, a Cyber Incident Response Plan (CIRP) is the obvious choice, especially as both the frequency and severity of cyber threats continue to increase. Two critical aspects of a good response plan are to practice it, and to ensure clear communication during any attack.

At this event, we got inspired by peers’ experiences, to see how we can navigate the complexities of developing and maintaining a strong, safe, flexible and cost-efficient CIRP.

Takeaways from the Beltug event of 26 March 2024.

26 / 03 / 24

We started this session on CIRP with the tales of two cities: both Antwerp* and Genk have first-hand experience with the sometimes-chilling impact of cyber attacks and IT security breaches. Then, we explored the learnings from Verizon’s 2023 Data Breach Investigations Report – its 16th annual edition! Finally, we heard from SentinelOne about the need to hunt out threats, instead of just preparing and reacting.
