The importance of being ahead when things go wrong – how do we plan now to manage disaster later.
About this Event

The old cybersecurity adage of there are companies who have been hacked and those that don’t know they’ve been hacked is never truer that today, with the pace and sophistication of business impacting events, cyber and beyond, posing increasing challenges to organisations.

This discussion will examine the key strategic importance of building a resilient organisation and how to lead through serious disruption - what happens when systems, operations, communications and reputation all come under pressure at once, and how leaders actually make decisions when the facts are incomplete and the stakes are high.

The discussion will focus on what senior leaders need to get right before, during and after a disaster, in terms of command structure, decision velocity, communication discipline, supplier and board management, recovery sequencing, and the uncomfortable trade-offs that appear when there is no clean option.

We are excited to be joined by a panel of top industry leaders, including:

  • Andrew Coe OBE (former Future Combat Air System Programme Director, UK Ministry of Defence)
  • Dale Waterman (AI/AI Governance & Cyber Resilience, Diligent)
  • Robert Threadgold (Head of Operational Resilience, LSEG)
  • Shelby Flora (Managing Director Financial Services Security Lead UKIA , Accenture)

Dale Waterman will provide a positioning talk in advance of the panel and there will also be two flash talks from innovative emerging companies in the Operational Resilience space:

  • Flash Talk TBC
