Build Resilience That Works: Cyber Exercises + Business Impact Analysis
About this Event
In an environment where disruption is no longer a question of if but when, organisations need more than plans—they need confidence in their ability to respond and recover.
Join us for a focused, high-value one day (or part day) workshop designed to build two critical capabilities:
- Running effective cyber incident exercises
- Preparing a meaningful and actionable Business Impact Analysis (BIA)
