Huge thank you to Ong Johnson, Khai Yi Lo and the team at Halim Hong & Quek, a member firm of Andersen Global for having us yesterday. It was a great session sharing one of S-RM cyber training series, "The First 48 Hours," which provided an overview of what a cyber incident response typically entails, including recommendations and common missteps to avoid.   From our experience in dealing with cyber incidents, the first 48 hours are often the most critical. The decisions and actions taken during this vital period can have significant impacts on the overall response.   Taking the right actions early can prevent further harm and stop the threat actor from maintaining or regaining access to the network. This allows attention and efforts to be focused on restoring and recovering systems, ultimately minimizing business interruption, which is often the most costly aspect of a response and notoriously difficult to quantify.

Please join the CSIS Defending Democratic Institutions (DDI) Project for an exciting event on The Cyber Safety Review Board: Reflecting on the Past & Charting the Future with Robert Silvers, Under Secretary for Policy at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.   Our adversaries go to school on how we respond to cyber incidents. We must do the same. Established under President Biden’s Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity, the Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB) plays a vital role in reviewing major cyber incidents and shaping the future of our resilience. 🗓️ September 9 | 📍 Online Register here: https://lnkd.in/eK_5i_Z6   #Cybersecurity #CSRB #NationalDefense #CyberResilience #PublicPrivatePartnership #DigitalTransformation #CyberSafety #CyberDefense #LeadershipInAction #FutureOfCybersecurity

We enjoyed an excellent exchange of lessons learned from #cyber incidents this week, when we hosted a “War Room in the War Rooms”. Kekst CNC’s Callum Laidlaw and Mikey Hoare partnered with experienced breach counsel Ellie Ludlam for Pinsent Masons, cyber forensic specialists S-RM's Daniel Caplin and tech consultancy Alchemmy's Phil Aitchison for a discussion on how to prepare for, and manage, cyber threats. Held in the unique location of London’s Churchill War Rooms, the intimate event allowed participants to share and discuss what keeps them awake when it comes to data security; from geopolitical actors to screengrabs of ransom notes. Key takeaways? Prepare for the worst, focus on compliance and control of your message, don’t get bounced into communicating before you have confidence in what you’re telling people, and make sure that you not only have a cyber plan, but you test it (with your teams) to make sure it would work in action. #cybersecurity

A highly relevant article for all across the port and maritime sector looking to build cyber resilience and/or qualify for a Port Security Grant. Thanks to our VP of Cybersecurity Max Bobys, as well as Scott Dickerson, { John Felker }, and Cliff Neve for continuing to charter a way forward as global port and maritime communities strike a balance between digital interconnectivity and inter-organizational awareness/preparedness. #cyber #cyberriskmanagement #cyberresilience #security #ports #maritime #portcommunity #digitalization #dataprotection #interoperability

Cybliminal's Cyber Goodies are back and sponsoring BSides Canberra again this year. There is a fantastic line of up talks so check out the schedule https://lnkd.in/gHV5-Grc. If you have any concerns about how you can defend your organisation against the latest threats come and talk to us. Cybliminal's approach is centred on maximizing the value of a client’s existing cyber security investments. Rather than recommending entirely new systems, we focus on enhancing and optimizing the tools and infrastructure that are already in place. This approach ensures that clients get the most out of their current resources, reducing the need for costly new solutions while strengthening their overall security posture.
