The Resilient Journey

If you’ve never had to respond to a cyberattack or been forced to make difficult time-sensitive decisions, and if you haven’t given serious thought to how you would respond, it’s safe to say you could be headed for a whole lot of trouble. Hello everyone and welcome to episode 36 of The Resilient Journey podcast, sponsored by ClearRisk. Today I want to get you started on the road to effectively responding to a cyberattack. We will discuss why this isn’t just an IT problem, how to involve your crisis management team and how to be as prepared as possible to make those difficult decisions. Cyber crime is on the rise, and with everything going on in the cyber world, can you really afford not to pay attention? Be sure to follow The Resilient Journey!  We sure do appreciate it!
