When the Sh*t Hits the Fan: A CEO's Perspective

How to survive a cyber incident with your business and reputation intact in the words of 3 businesses leaders who lived through it.
About this Event

Why Come to "When the Sh*t Hits the Fan"?

"You have no idea what happens in one of these cyber attacks until it happens to you. It was the worst 3 weeks in my 30 years in business."

Three business leaders who have lived through this scenario want to share their firsthand experience of what happens during a cyber attack, so you can better prepare.

Each of them now knows that the impact can be significantly reduced through knowledge and preparation—but only if you know what to prepare for.

Who is the event aimed at?

This event is designed for business leaders who carry overall responsibility, and here’s why: If you don’t take a personal interest in cyber security, your people can’t drive the outcomes you need. There is plenty of education around for IT and operations people. This is about you gaining personal insight from your peers.

"It wasn’t that we did nothing before—I had signed off on several cyber security tools. But now I realize I needed to take a more personal interest. An incident that cost us 50% of our net profit made it clear cyber security is a critical leadership function."

You will only hear from your peers - fellow MDs/CEOs. A completely unique opportunity that is unlikely to be repeated.

Due to anticipated demand, we are limiting this event to 2 spaces per company, and one of those spaces must be a senior leader in the business.

Attendees of this event will:

· Hear what actually happens during a cyber incident

· Discover the lucky coincidences that saved the day

· What changes each business has made coming out of it

· What advice they have for you to make sure you get through this as cleanly as possible

"You think you will be OK because you have backups and insurance. Those things helped a lot. But there was a lot of other things I wish we had put in place before this happened."

Speakers

At this event you will hear from 3 MDs of businesses in the South of England, with between 40 and 150 employees with revenues between £10M and £30M.

We are incredibly grateful to all three for volunteering their time with no benefit to themselves. All 3 have asked us for obvious reasons not to publish their names and company names.

“We were lucky… Lucky it was a Friday and we had the weekend. Lucky it was half-term, our quietest time of year. Lucky the dispatcher still printed off all the jobs the night before. I’m grateful we had that luck, but it terrified me how much we depended on it.”
