What happens when a major cybersecurity breach occurs, and who are the shadowy figures behind these devastating attacks?
In the aftermath of a cyber breach, the clock is ticking. Quick and effective decisions must be made to contain the resulting damage and protect critical systems. Beyond the technical response, cybersecurity professionals must navigate a complex landscape of legal, regulatory, and operational challenges to minimize the fallout ─ which can be a daunting task for the unprepared.
