More and more companies are adapting to the new reality of cybersecurity - it's not "if" a cyber incident is going to happen, it's "when".
 
Companies are adjusting to the reality that cyber incidents are going to happen so it is critical to move your mindset beyond prevention alone and into prevention + response. What is your plan of action when your security measures have failed?
 
Our focus at this panel discussion on minimizing the impact of a cybersecurity breach. We will provide you with tools and ideas to identify who you need in your corner when the inevitable breach happens.
 
This event will feature a panel discussion with representatives from the service providers companies most often turn to for help.
