FIRE - SIDE CHAT
From Breach to Action: Coordinating Incident Response in Real Time
DAY 1 / 15:00 – 16:00 / CONFERENCE ROOM
Modern cyber incidents are complex, rapidly occurring and evolving, and occasionally cross-border. Effective response hinges on trust and collaboration across public and private sectors – not just technical readiness.
This fire-side chat will explore how incident response works in practice by offering case-studies and will include an open discussion with the audience on how public-private collaboration can shape handling of cyber incidents.
