Cyber Resilience | Cyberattack response

This session offers a comprehensive guide to responding to cyber-attacks within the law. It covers the legal considerations of cyber incidents, including criminal law, data protection, privacy laws, and regulatory compliance.

We start by analyzing the anatomy of a cyber-attack through an incident response plan, focusing on the legal framework surrounding such attacks. This includes data breach notification requirements, both domestic and international, and an overview of evolving cyber-related legislation. We also explore the legal obligations of organizations, highlighting potential liabilities and consequences of non-compliance.

The session also emphasizes the role of digital forensics in incident response and legal proceedings, including best practices for preserving electronic evidence, ensuring its admissibility, and working with law enforcement. Additionally, we cover the post-incident phase, discussing breach disclosure, communication strategies, and managing reputational damage. Practical advice on engaging regulatory bodies, law enforcement, and legal counsel ensures a coordinated, lawful response to cyber incidents.

To conclude, we get a firsthand account from a company (TVH) that has experienced a cyberattack and that has been through the challenges of post-attack damage control.
