Overview

The Private Directors Association is pleased to bring together a panel of industry experts from three different perspectives (cybersecurity, public relations, and insurance) to discuss incident response best practices and lessons learned.

We will explore questions like:

1. What constitutes as an effective IR program?
2. What do C Suite executives need to know compared to Corporate Directors?
3. What are some key measures that we can put in place to come out ahead after a breach?

Value to the Audience

At the conclusion of this webinar, attendees will have a deeper understanding of Incident Response best practices, c-suite vs. corporate director responsibilities, and how world class incident response plans can help organizations thrive post breach.

Thank you to our Webinar Host!
