When Systems Go Dark - Keeping Your Business Running and Counting the Cost

When a cyber-attack strikes, the immediate technical response is only the beginning. The real damage often lies in what follows: operational paralysis, lost revenue, reputational harm, and the long road to recovery.

The panel will bring together a disputes and insurance coverage lawyer, a forensic accountant with expertise in the cyber sphere and a specialist cyber claims advocate from an insurance broker, to examine the aftermath of a cyber incident from a business continuity perspective. The speakers will explore the real questions being debated in the boardroom in the immediate aftermath of a cyber-attack: what are the notification obligations, where will the true costs of an attack originate (including the potential for regulatory fines), how can the organisation quantify and evidence its losses, and what steps should be taken to prepare for potential disputes with insurers, suppliers, or other parties down the line.

Whether companies are looking to stress-test their business continuity planning or you simply want to understand what happens when the claim lands on your desk, this session will equip you with practical insights from the professionals who deal with these issues every day.
