What Do You Need to Consider for Your Cyber Incident Response Framework?

With the CrowdStrike incident impacting so many organizations, it is imperative to understand your organizations’ cyber incident response framework especially when you screen goes “blue”! According to a snap poll conducted by Aon, 83% of risk professionals said their organisation had an incident response plan in place. But when CrowdStrike occurred, 24% said these plans underperformed. The entire poll of 500 risk professionals from across the UK and Europe revealed that 62% were directly or indirectly impacted by the global outage. This presentation will focus on the 2025 to 2030 threatscape and considerations for an “joined-up” incident response framework that your organization should consider if it hasn’t already.
