Handling Cybersecurity Incidents
  

Handling Cybersecurity Incidents

Join us for an exclusive round table and dinner at Salons Waerboom in Groot-Bijgaarden on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, where we’ll dive into the critical topic of handling cybersecurity incidents. Whether it's ransomware or human error, responding quickly and effectively is key to minimising damage and protecting your organization.

Marc Vael will lead a discussion on how human errors can trigger cybersecurity incidents, emphasising the importance of quick identification, containment, and corrective actions like system patching. He'll also highlight the need for transparent communication to maintain trust, and how post-incident steps—such as boosting risk awareness and revising protocols—can help prevent future mishaps.

Tom De Laet will share real-world stories, including a cautionary tale of a major manufacturing company that failed to escalate a detected security event, leading to a widespread ransomware attack. Through his experiences, you'll learn how to act swiftly: isolating affected systems, engaging cybersecurity experts, verifying backups, and communicating transparently with stakeholders. He'll also discuss how an organisation can prepare so that a cybersecurity event can be acted upon before it becomes a major security incident.

This event is an excellent opportunity to learn from experts, network with fellow IT leaders, and share your own experiences in tackling cybersecurity challenges. By preparing now, your organization can build resilience and stay ahead of evolving threats.
