Session Description:

During this session, we will review the latest trends in cyber attacks and more effective response techniques and tactics by going through some hands-on interactive exercises that will improve the attendees’ awareness of response good practices and auditor considerations. We will also shed light on some related regulations and compliance requirements as we go through a few recent case studies. The case studies are real-world incidents where organizations had to deal with the stressful situations when responding to live incidents and will help the attendees identify some pitfalls, where incident response teams and executives make mistakes. We will also discuss the role of auditors in identifying the improvement opportunities for your organization’s incident response program and maturing this capability.
