Boardroom: CYBER DISASTER RECOVERY CHALLENGES FOR UK AND DACH FINANCIAL SERVICES (25th May)

15:00 - 16:15PM BST - Hosted on Zoom

Have financial services become too comfortable with the fallback option of paying the ransom? What if the fail-safe of paying the ransom to recover data and bring systems back online is no longer an option and data is destroyed; and there is no hacker on the other end to restore access? Have we planned and practiced adequately for an alternative?

In this session we will discuss:

  • Attacks: Exfiltration or wiper
  • Contingency planning requirements
  • Incident command systems
