In today's complex threat landscape, cyberattacks are inevitable. Malicious actors are becoming increasingly sophisticated, financially motivated attacks are becoming more widespread, and new malware families are being discovered daily, making it even more important for organizations — of all sizes and across industries — to have a plan of attack in place.

On this webinar, we will explore essential CISO strategies aimed at preventing surprises before, during, and after a cyber incident. Attendees will have the opportunity to earn 1.5 CPE credits while learning how to:

• Develop a comprehensive cyber incident response plan complete with detailed frameworks that delineate roles and responsibilities.
