    It's not getting any easier. Every time we turn around there seems to be another attack or threat that demands our attention.

We'll outline what's required to prepare in advance so you're ready to execute when the time comes. From establishing solid communication channels to leveraging automation, we'll cover the necessary steps and considerations for an effective response plan. Session attendees will learn:
