Cyber Security Communications

How to prepare and respond to a cyber security incident

The threat of a cyber security incident is ever-present. It seems like almost every week there is another organisation that has become victim to a cyber attack.

These incidents don't just harm a business's IT infrastructure; they also have long-term detrimental impacts to customers, employees, and reputations.

So as comms professionals, we need to be prepared for how to respond if a cyber attack happens, in a way that helps maintain trust in our business and its brand.

This webinar will help you do just that! Facilitated by Megan Lane, you will learn:

• The types of threats we need to be aware of

• How to prepare your crisis communication

• What steps to take when a cyber incident occurs.
