JOIN JONATHAN ARMSTRONG AND BRUCE HALLAS AS THEY DISCUSS THE FOLLOWING:

• Training / Practice for helping to not only reduce the likelihood of cyber attacks, but also how to address a problem when something goes wrong (which it inevitably will at some point)
• The law is increasingly saying that companies must implement some form of education and awareness training, and when a breach does happen, companies must have their arguments ready pre-breach so they can respond effectively to a breach and be able to defend their efforts to stave off the attack
• Those who have managed breaches most effectively are those who have run simulations and had a plan in place
• Stakeholder management
• The role Education and Awareness plays in terms of how a regulator might look at a breach
• How to spot training programs that will pass regulations vs those that won’t
• The disparity between the cost of high-quality training vs the cost of handling a breach or facing fines for non-compliance
