Cyber Incidents Are Business Crises: Strengthening Incident Response for a New Regulatory Era
About this Webinar
When a cyber incident occurs, the technical response is only part of the challenge. Legal, regulatory, operational, and reputational consequences can escalate within hours—often before organizations fully understand what has happened. In this session, Shawn Ford, Partner and Incident Response Lead Lawyer at Ceiba Law, will share practical insights on navigating today’s evolving cyber incident landscape. Drawing on his experience advising executives, CISOs, and multinational organizations, Shawn will discuss how leading companies are strengthening their response capabilities, operationalizing privacy and cybersecurity obligations, and building resilient risk strategies. Attendees will learn how organizations can strengthen their incident response programs, prepare for regulatory scrutiny, and develop governance and compliance frameworks that enable both resilience and innovation.
