Session
The first hour of incident response is often the most important. It’s the point where initial contact is made and an effort to make sense of events begins. But it's also where early mistakes can turn a contained issue into a full-blown crisis.
This talk focuses on how to manage that critical window and avoid common pitfalls. Especially where multiple systems, stakeholders, and streams of information all demand attention at once.
We’ll explore the pitfalls that slow teams down and show how a simple framework can help keep order.
Using case studies and lessons learned from the field, this session highlights how the first 60 minutes set the tone for the entire response, and how to ensure that tone is calm, structured, and effective.
