Workshop cybersecurity: create an incident and recovery plan

What if something goes wrong? Cybersecurity is no longer just about prevention but about being prepared. A phishing email, data breach, or system failure can have a significant impact on your organization, from the loss of public data to halted services. 

Therefore, it is wise to create an incident and recovery plan. This outlines how you prepare for a potential cyber incident, how you respond to it, and how you recover from it. A good incident and recovery plan ensures that you don't have to improvise but can act quickly and systematically to limit damage and speed up recovery.

The workshop on November 17 is full. Sign up for March 18.

  • Limit damage and recover faster with clear agreements
