From the Hudson River to the Cyber Frontlines: Incident Response Lessons from Flight 1549
What happens when the engines fail, the alarms sound, and you have mere seconds to react?
Join North Texas ISSA CyberWide for an unforgettable, high-stakes discussion with Josh, a survivor of the legendary "Miracle on the Hudson."
Josh holds the unique distinction of being the passenger who opened the emergency exit door on US Airways Flight 1549, helping guide his fellow passengers to safety. His powerful story of resilience has been featured on CNN, The New York Times, The LA Times, The Oprah Winfrey Show, and Dr. Phil.
In this exclusive session, Josh bridges the gap between physical crisis and digital defense. He will share first-hand accounts of the events before, during, and after the crash, mapping those critical moments to the exact pressures CISOs and Cybersecurity professionals face during high-consequence incident responses.
What You’ll Take Away:
Crisis Leadership: How to maintain clarity and command when a system faces catastrophic failure.
Split-Second Decisions: The psychology of managing chaos under extreme pressure.
Resilience Beyond the Crash: How to turn organizational adversity and trauma into long-term success.
