The 2025 Threatscape

With the CrowdStrike incident impacting so many organizations, it is imperative to understand your organizations’ cyber incident response framework especially when you screen goes “blue”!

According to a snap poll conducted by Aon, 83% of risk professionals said their organisation had an incident response plan in place. But when CrowdStrike occurred, 24% said these plans underperformed. The entire poll of 500 risk professionals from across the UK and Europe revealed that 62% were directly or indirectly impacted by the global outage.

This presentation will focus on the 2025 to 2030 threatscape and considerations for an “joined-up” incident response framework that your organization should consider if it hasn’t already.

Tune into this session presented by business continuity, disaster recovery, cyber resilience and major incident expert Steve Yates, as he shares tips to prepare for the 2025 threatscape. Yates will explore current operational cyber incident response areas, identified from more recent events such as dependency mapping, scenario planning and testing, and the core structure that your organization should have in place.

By the end of the session, you will be able to:
- Know the importance of dependency mapping, specifically for the “before”, and the challenges that will happen if not established for the “after.”
- Form an understanding of how scenario planning and testing can be become critical in the preparation for significant cyber disruptions and provide the need for resources and capacity capabilities.
- Understand the core organizational components needed for a cyber incident response framework.
