Security Day - November 2-3, 2022
Last updated on December 6, 2022No organization is immune to attack. Organizations must ensure they are prepared to respond to, and prevent and detect incidents to better contain the damage and mitigate further risk to the organization.
The November, 2022 Security Day event - Cyber Alert: This is Not a Test - discussed how organizations can best handle incident response.
Security Day presentations and workshops provided government and private sector perspectives, and outlined overall best practices for:
- responding to security incidents,
- identifying the structure, roles and responsibilities, types of common incidents, and
- strategies to prepare, identify, contain, eradicate, recover from security incidents, as well as learn from security incidents.
Following the presentations, on November 3, Security Day will feature three workshops, all of which will provide practical approaches to various angles of incident response.
