The frequency and complexity of security breaches over the last few years indicate that this threat is increasing and will continue to have a profound impact on daily operations. No business sector is exempt; financial, retail, health and even government agencies have all been affected. The actors have changed and our organizations are targeted. More and more business continuity professionals are in the mix when these security incidents unfold. This presentation will give an overview of the threat horizon, a comprehensive review of the “kill chain” and address the changing role of the BC practitioner in the process. Takeaways include a grasp of the lingo, working with security incident vendors, preserving evidence, dealing with external agencies – police and/or FBI and communicating with internal and external stakeholder during the event.
