Cyberattacks are becoming a “when, not if” reality. In the final block of sessions at #CyberSecure, we'll be providing you with strategies to help your organization fix security vulnerabilities and take the critical first steps after a breach happens.

First up is Alex Jones of @cobalt_io. He's discussing how your organization can reinforce its security strategy to better identify and address security vulnerabilities. #CyberSecure

He's discussing five themes:

-It's not a zero sum game
-It's not a technology problem (it's a people problem)
-The solution requires people and process innovation (the tech is there already)
-It's complicated, but not impossible
-We're all in this together

We, too, are a lover of memes. How we used to think about cybersecurity, according to Jones of @cobalt_io at #CyberSecure 👇

Will you know what to do when the unthinkable happens? Your first steps after you realize your organization's systems have been compromised can make all the difference in how your business recovers. Get a critical step-by-step guide to surviving a cyber crisis.

This is the final session of #CyberSecure—with Sean Koessel of @Volexity

1. When an organization first becomes aware of a possible breach, a third part like @Volexity has to validate this alert.
2. The organization should also pull in only the people it needs to determine if should spin up its incident response

#CyberSecure

3. If you attempt to start your own investigation before contacting a third party, don't do anything that hurts the preservation of the compromised system. You might destroy evidence.

*If your organization doesn't have an incident response plan, the perfect time to create one is now. Don't wait until during or after you're alerted of a breach. #CyberSecure

"You do not want to be figuring these things out during the heat battle," says Koessel. Prepare your organization for a cybersecurity breach before it happens. #CyberSecure

This was another fascinating conversation about cybersecurity and preparing your organization for the worst.

One parting piece of advice: stay calm, stay hydrated, stay well-rested.

Thanks Sean!

That's it for this block of sessions and the programming for #CyberSecure. Now we have our final wrap up with editors.

@HowellONeill gave some parting words for cybercriminals and the checklist we unintentionally gave them for continuing what they do.

.@AmyNordrum was interested in how GPT-3 and other large language models could be used in cyberattacks and what's being done to thwart them.

Among the many lessons @bobbie learned, one is to stay hydrated during a crisis. 🥤
