Plans are useless, but planning is indispensable – cyber security
Cyber attacks have increased dramatically over the past year. Almost every week, we read about organisations becoming the victims of hackers. Sometimes, the impacted activities are only unavailable for a short while, but in other cases, the company ends up paying a ransom after days of uncertainty and insecurity.
Takeaways from the Beltug N-sight on cyber security response plans, 8 December 2021
08 / 12 / 21
So most organisations don’t need convincing that a cyber incident response plan (CIRP) is important. However, developing one and keeping it alive can become ‘just another task’ on a long to-do list.
In our session of 8 December 2021, we aimed to inspire participants with ways to keep sharp. First, we learned the fundamentals of a cyber incident response plan, with some key insights on what organisations tend to forget. Next, we discovered the updated version of the ‘Incident Management Guide’ from the Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB). Finally, we heard a real story about using the cyber incident response plan to create an effective security ecosystem. We ended with a short panel discussion with the different speakers, based on participants’ questions and comments.
