Damage control: Perfecting your post-breach response

C-suite Exchange: Strengthening resilience in an age of constant cyber threats

In partnership with 

As data breaches climb to record levels, the emphasis for organisations must turn to security in depth — a strategy that prioritises response and remediation as much as detection or prevention.

In this C-Suite Exchange, HotTopics, in partnership with Commvault and Bytes, convenes senior technology and security leaders to reveal how to break down operational siloes, embed cyber resilience into the fabric of the business, and protect the future of the organisation.

What to expect

Join an interactive, high-level discussion designed to equip leaders with the strategies, frameworks, and cultural shifts needed to respond effectively when the inevitable breach occurs.

Key Discussion Themes:

• Cyber resilience in a digital world - How do you balance technological innovation and governance, the (often competing) priorities of the CIO and CISO, and the good and nefarious merits of AI? Discover what “good” cyber resilience truly looks like in a constantly evolving landscape.
• Designing for the inevitable - Are your risk postures and business continuity plans truly fit for purpose? Explore how frameworks like NIST can help your organisation move beyond traditional disaster recovery towards a culture of resilience.
• The Minimum Viable Company (MVC) strategy - Learn how to identify and restore the minimum viable set of functions and assets required to keep your business operational after a breach — ensuring agility, continuity, and confidence.
