Join us on 21st May for an immersive dive into the crucial first 48 hours of technical response in managing the impact of cybersecurity incidents. Led by Marion Stewart from Red Helix, this event promises to unveil the intricate steps taken by incident response practitioners as they spring into action when the stakes are high.

Embark on a journey where every second counts, from the initial technical triage calls to drafting meticulous statements of work. Explore the art of initial containment and recovery planning, where decisions made in the heat of the moment can shape the outcome of an entire incident.
