The mean downtime cost for organizations experiencing a cyber incident can be $225K/day – in addition to costs incurred from fines and legal fees, loss of customer loyalty and reputational damage, higher incident resolution costs, and more. 

As cybercriminals continue to evolve their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to deploy ransomware and conduct data breaches, it’s critical for security leaders to ensure they are prepared for any potential cyberattack to reduce downtime and prevent business disruption. 

That’s why the least desirable time to meet your incident response (IR) provider for the first time is when you’re responding to an incident. 

In this session, Larry Gagnon, Senior Vice President Security Services & Incident Response at eSentire, discusses why traditional pre-breach preparation strategies may not be enough to ensure optimal response. Larry also shares his tactical recommendations for: 

- High value, inexpensive breach preparation strategies that work 

- Incident Response readiness that maximizes cyber resilience and reduces operational downtime 

- Quantifying savings and time-to-value for incident response
