Plenary program
- Setting the scene:
Business continuity – an organization’s ability to maintain or quickly resume critical operations during and after disruptive incidents – is vital in the context of cyber threats. As modern organizations rely heavily on digital infrastructure, a cyberattack can lead to significant downtime, financial losses, and reputational damage.
By having a solid business continuity plan, companies can ensure they are prepared to respond quickly to cyber incidents, mitigate the impact, and recover operations without long-lasting consequences. This proactive approach not only protects the organization’s assets and data but also helps build trust with customers, stakeholders, and partners by demonstrating resilience in the face of cyber risks.
CISO Platform board member Mahdi Abdulrazak sets the scene for the workshop, by providing an overview of the importance of business continuity, the challenges in developing a solid strategy, and the responsibility of the CISO.
- Inside information:
A CISO shares his/her personal experience with the topic of business continuity, together with valuable insights on this topic. This offers a unique opportunity to learn from an insider who deals with these issues on a daily basis.
- Interactive panel discussion:
Together with experts and thought leaders, we will discuss the integration of offensive and defensive strategies for continuity, bringing different perspectives together. This interactive session offers the opportunity to ask questions and join the discussion on the themes covered.
Break-out sessions
- Creating a defensive cyberstrategy for business continuity
Defensive cyber strategies for business continuity focus on establishing robust safeguards to protect an organization’s critical operations from cyber threats. These strategies involve proactive measures such as threat detection, risk assessment, incident response planning, and regular security training for employees.
The importance of these defensive strategies lies in their ability to ensure that organizations can maintain or quickly restore essential functions during and after a cyber incident. By implementing comprehensive cyber defenses, organizations can minimize the likelihood of disruptions, safeguard sensitive data, and reduce potential financial and reputational damage.
In this session, we will discuss incident response planning, crisis communication, and share lessons learned.
- Preventing disruptions with offensive cyber strategies
Preventing disruptions with offensive cyber strategies involves proactively identifying and neutralizing potential threats before they can impact an organization’s operations. These strategies include techniques such as threat hunting, penetration testing, and red teaming, where security teams actively simulate attacks to uncover vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the system.
By anticipating and mitigating threats before they escalate, organizations can prevent disruptions that could lead to significant operational downtime, financial loss, and reputational harm. In this session, we will discuss red teaming, penetration tests, the role of ethical hackers, and examples of lessons learned.
