Lunch & Learn: prepared for cyber incidents - in 45 minutes

What is an incident and recovery plan?

An incident and recovery plan describes what your organization should do when a cyber incident occurs, such as a phishing attack, data breach, or system outage. The plan outlines in advance who is responsible for what, how the incident is reported and investigated, what steps are needed to limit the damage, and how to safely restore systems and operations. This way, everyone knows what needs to be done, and you don't have to start from scratch during a stressful situation. For the cultural sector, DEN has created a guide to help you step by step in creating an incident and recovery plan. Read more about this free guide in this article and download it directly.

Why is such a plan important for the cultural sector?

Cultural organizations increasingly work with digital systems, audience data, collections, ticket sales, and online services. A cyber incident can therefore not only cause technical or financial damage but also lead to the cancellation of performances, exhibitions, and other activities. Moreover, the trust of visitors, creators, employees, and partners can be affected. With an incident and recovery plan, you prepare your organization for different scenarios, limit the consequences of an incident, and ensure that essential operations can resume more quickly.
