Event details
When an incident emerges, reports conflict, misinformation moves faster than the facts, and your team has only minutes to decide what's real and whether it impacts your people or operations. For security and risk professionals monitoring developments, the real pressure is making a confident call while the picture is still incomplete.
Tony Reeves, MAIAR and Erin Ade-Kunle, Customer Success Manager with samdesk will walk through real-world cases showing the decisions security teams face in the first minutes of an incident: when to escalate, wait for more information, or stand down—and what that discipline looks like for analysts making faster, better-informed decisions under pressure.
You’ll learn:
-
How forward-thinking teams determine whether early reports are credible while incidents are still unfolding
-
How to separate signal from noise before escalating internally
-
Where AI adds value, and where human verification still plays a critical role
All attendees will receive a CPD certificate.
