Cyber Insights Webinar
The First 48 Hours of a Cyber Incident
Responding with Confidence
Join us on November 6th at 3pm GMT
The first 48 hours of a cyber incident are the most chaotic - and the most critical. Every decision made during this window can shape the outcome. From identifying an active cybersecurity incident and mitigating unauthorized access to managing communications and regulatory obligations, response efforts must be fast, coordinated, and precise.
What you'll learn
Join us for a high-impact webinar designed to help you navigate the early hours of a cyber incident with clarity and confidence. Drawing on real-world experience and expert insights from our Digital Forensics/Incident Response and Cyber Services teams, we’ll explore two distinct incident types, Business Email Compromise (BEC) and ransomware attacks, to illustrate how response strategies and decision-making can vary depending on the nature of the incident. During the session, our experts will explore the following areas:
- What proactive steps you should take to prepare for a cyber incident
- What immediate steps you should take to maximize incident response resources
- What to expect in the first 48 hours of a cyber incident
- Key decisions and actions that reduce impact and risk
- Common mistakes to avoid
Whether you're in IT/security, legal, communications, or risk management, this session will help you understand the critical decisions and coordination needed in the first 48 hours of a cyber incident. You’ll gain practical insights into containment, forensic preservation, and remediation while avoiding common pitfalls that can lead to prolonged outages and reputational harm.
You’ll also have the opportunity to interact with our experts and get your questions answered live.
