Cyber And Data Breach Incident Management
(CADBIM)
WSQ Level 4  (2-Day)

Laptop Typing

Workshop Description

 

Today no organisation is safe from cybercrime. The threat of cybersecurity breaches is no longer a question of "if" or "when” but has already arrived!

 

What causes data breaches? Insecure devices, unpatched software, open software vulnerabilities, and a lack of encryption are common causes of data breaches. Often a cyber data breach incident can occur not only because of criminal activity but also because of some system or security lapses or operational failure, or some staff made an honest mistake – the intentional or unintentional threat actors. Thus the incident response and management alert trigger and actions are essential to contain both such cyber data breaches which can occur anytime not only due to crime but also due to operational lapses or system failures.

KEPNERANDFOURIE® is a world-class problem-solving tool used by major MNCs globally - we have carefully curated and integrated this effective global critical thinking and problem-solving tool into our
courseware.


A Cyber incident management process is a set of procedures and actions taken to respond to and resolve critical Cyber incidents: how incidents are detected and communicated, who is responsible, what tools are
used, and what steps are taken to resolve the Cyber incidents. 
Investigators cannot be generic and understand that the "devil lies in the details". In this Masterclass, you'll learn how to identify the "core fault" in an incident. Our approach will enable the investigator to get all stakeholders on board to agree on the specific “core fault” of the incident. This is achieved by:


INVESTIGATING RELEVANT INCIDENT DIMENSIONS and ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS - It's vital to ask the correct questions from the appropriate subject matter experts to receive proper information. A precisely developed, well-structured questionnaire accomplishes this.

The CADBIM Programme

This module describes the ability to develop cyber incident management procedures and synthesize incident related analyses to distil key insights, resolve the cyber incidents and establish mitigating and preventive solutions.

Together with our  principal Thinking Dimension Global, an experienced Global Consultancy in KEPNERandFOURIE® Problem Solving methodologies in the Infocomm Technology (IT) sector, we present the following to our learners:

In summary these are the four key components of an incident response plan.

  1. Preparation

  2. Detection & Analysis

  3. Containment, Eradication & Recovery

  4. Post Incident Improvement & Resiliency Building

Problem-solving MASTERCLASS

Analyse incidents quickly and efficiently apply permanent fixes

The KEPNERandFOURIE® Problem Solving Methodology is a framework for systematic analysis utilizing problem-solving and decision-making templates. Its prepared, structured questions enable teams from various disciplines to collaborate more successfully with relevant and qualified data sources.

This combination of tools allows the problem-solving team to initiate, execute, and conclude a correct evaluation of the situation. It also gives thinking investigators with the opportunity to resolve vexing issues/incidents and generate solutions for seemingly unsolvable problem situations.

Learning Outcomes

  1.  Develop a benchmark that triggers incident alerts triggers to relevant stakeholder.

  2.  Develop a holistic view of incidents by integrating and analysing cyber information, key insights and impact.

  3.  Manage the containment of cyber incidents by applying incident remediation solutions and strategies.

  4.  Lead recovery of cyber incidents and minimize any possible risks.

  5.  Establish and drive mitigation and prevention processes and policies.

How will our CADBIM Masterclass help a major IT Organization?

Leverage your resident intelligence to combat cybersecurity threats because nobody knows your critical systems better than your own staff.

  1. Your staff will always have their ears on the ground and will be a major contributing factor in fighting security risks.

  2. In-house training could be customized to address company specific challenges more effectively during the actual workshop time.

  3. An in-house option provides for more effective & meaningful personal learning experience.

  4. Workshop could be delivered in a permutation that would ensure the least disruption to existing work practices and workload.

  5. This will change a poor supported "push" approach to a well-supported "pull" approach with exponentially improved data.
