Cybersecurity & Ransomware Are Everyone’s Problem: How Cross-Functional Teams Can Work Together to P

When:  Feb 25, 2025 from 01:00 PM to 02:00 PM (CST)

Cyber and ransomware attacks are no longer a distant threat for companies, they’re an escalating reality for many organizations and have broad impacts on teams across those companies affected – and working together to prepare is critical. 

In this interactive session, a panel of cross-functional experts will walk through a mock tabletop exercise of a ransomware attack. Representing ESG, audit & risk, SEC reporting, and IT/InfoSec perspectives, they’ll dissect critical questions that teams at your organization should consider and address to prepare for and respond to a cyberattack.

With ransomware attack payments skyrocketing and new cybersecurity and data privacy incident disclosure requirements, this session will equip you to navigate the challenges of today’s cybersecurity landscape. This exercise highlights the urgent need for collaboration across teams to mitigate regulatory, financial, and reputational risks. 

Gain insights into the practical steps required to align with other teams, enhance organizational readiness, and participate in future tabletop exercises. 

After attending this session, you will be able to:

  • Identify the impacts of ransomware attacks on cross-functional teams, including ESG, audit and risk management, and financial reporting.

  • Discuss the various regulatory requirements for reporting a cybersecurity incident and their implications for incident response.

  • Learn how to foster alignment and improve communication between teams, and how to incorporate different roles across an organization into tabletop exercises.

  • Explore actionable strategies to effectively prepare for and respond to real-world ransomware attacks.
