We are delighted to invite you to our webinar series Into the Breach - avoiding, managing and reacting to cyber threats.

Protecting against cyber threats and data loss can sometimes feel like a thankless task. If you succeed few will notice and it is almost impossible to avoid all risk. In this area though, failing to prepare really will mean you are preparing to fail. But where to begin? Even for large organisations the myriad of threats, changing every day can make the job feel daunting. So whether you have done nothing at all, or you are wondering if you have done enough, let us take you through the issues you need to consider to make sure that cyber threats don’t keep you awake at night.

In this five-part webinar series Jo Joyce (Data Protection & Information Rights), Michael Yates (Information Litigation and Reputation Management), and Ed Spencer (Disputes & Investigations) are joined by special guests to look at cyber security and breach management issues from a variety of angles. Starting with what happens if you find yourself in the thick of a cyber incident. In the following weeks we will look at communicating and protecting reputation during and post crisis, managing employee risk, and data disputes, including group litigation. Finally we will circle back to take a look at what you can do in advance to reduce your organisation's exposure to data risks and how to mitigate the effects if the worst does happen.

The sessions will provide you with the opportunity to hear from our experts and to ask questions. If you are interested in joining any of the sessions please register below.

First webinar: 

Crisis: the big bang. Managing initial reactions in conjunction with FTI Consulting

When a cyber incident comes to light it can be overwhelming. In our first webinar Jo Joyce and Michael Yates are joined by Oliver Price of FTI Consulting to look at initial responses to attacks.

In this session we will look at what should be prioritised and how an effective team response can take the pain out of the process. We consider the things you need to think about when appointing your internal team and external lawyers and forensics specialists, as well as insurance considerations and regulatory reporting requirements. We will introduce some of the important factors such as reputation management and employee relations that will be the focus of future webinars in the series.
