Abstract

A real-world tabletop exercise with CISOs and legal and business leaders on coordinated response, escalation paths, communication and decision-making.

When a weaponized exploit hits your environment - whether it’s a zero-day in your VPN, a critical supply chain vulnerability or an actively exploited cloud misconfiguration - the technical response is only half the battle. The real test is cross-functional coordination: how fast can security, legal and business leaders align on facts, escalation triggers, customer communication, regulatory disclosure and operational trade-offs under time pressure and incomplete information?

This interactive session brings together a CISO, legal counsel and business leader to simulate a real-world exploit scenario from initial detection through containment, disclosure and recovery. This session will cover: The first 15 minutes: detection, triage and activation; Escalation paths: Who decides what and when?; Legal lens: Regulatory notification, privilege and liability.
