The roundtable for senior stakeholders focuses on crisis management in cyber incidents, emphasising resilience and response within the first 24 hours.
Join us for the VODG Cyber Breach Roundtable, scheduled for 19 February 2026 at the Howden office in Central London.
This discussion-led roundtable is tailored specifically for senior stakeholders, including executives, IT leaders, and crisis management professionals. Our aim is to shed light on pivotal insights related to crisis management procedures in the event of a cyber incident within your organisation.
Co-produced with VODG partner Howden's Insurance, this meeting will delve into the complexities of today’s digital landscape. In an era where the question is no longer if a cyber breach will occur, but rather when, the true test of organisational resilience will be examined. We will focus on how organisations can effectively respond in the critical first 24 hours following an attack and how they can recover in the aftermath.
Participants will explore a wide range of topics, including the crucial decisions and actions that can define the outcome of a cyber-attack. Our discussions will cover immediate triage procedures, the technical and strategic responses required, as well as essential steps for regulatory disclosure, stakeholder communications, and navigating insurance recovery processes. The roundtable will analyze the entire lifecycle of a breach, concluding with a shared understanding of strategies to transform crises into opportunities for long-term resilience and growth.
This interactive meeting promises to be an engaging and constructive dialogue, offering practical takeaways that participants can implement when managing a cyber breach.
We hope you can spare the time to attend this exciting gathering.
