This presentation is derived from years of experience protecting national security and overseeing crisis management and response. Criminals and nation-state actors change and adapt to achieve their objectives. Starting with current threats, new attack techniques and trends, this presentation will describe actual cyber attacks that have occurred as well as envision future attack scenarios for which leaders and managers must prepare. The impacts of large-scale attacks are wide-reaching, affecting companies, employees, customers, economies, the general public, cities, regions and even nations. Preparation for such attacks extends well beyond traditional planning. It requires leaders and managers to achieve readiness for simultaneous execution of multiple plans and extensive crisis management over extended periods of time and to create an ecosystem of support.
Learning Objectives:
Describe the wide-scale impact of significant cyber attacks.
Define leader/manager level considerations to be prepared to manage the large scale crisis from a significant attack.
Identify internal and external risks as well as partners to create an ecosystem for preparedness.
