Morning: Inspirations and strategies

• 1st Conference: Calm down. Between overorganization and disorganization

  • Speaker: Nicolas-Loïc Fortin
  • We offer an in-depth, nuanced exploration of cybersecurity incident management, focusing on the vital balance between overorganization and disorganization. We’ll take a close look at how extremes of preparedness and responsiveness can influence an organization’s ability to respond effectively to cybersecurity crises.
  • We will address the dangers of over-organization, where excessively rigid processes can limit responsiveness and adaptability, leading to a counter-productive reliance on “autopilot”. At the same time, we’ll highlight the risks inherent in disorganization, where a lack of preparation and structure can result in chaotic, incoherent responses, under the pretext of “managing when the time is right”.
  • Drawing on real-life case studies and detailed analysis, this presentation will guide you in finding the optimal balance for effective, yet calm, incident management. We’ll share proven strategies for developing crisis response plans that combine flexibility and structure, enabling organizations to react quickly and orderly to diverse threats.
  • At the end of this presentation, you’ll leave with the essential tools and knowledge to design a “just enough” elaborate crisis management plan, equipping you with the skills to navigate your next cybersecurity crisis with confidence and serenity.

• 2nd Conference: Building cyber resilience one step at a time

  • Speaker: Serge Drolet
  • In a complex, highly interconnected environment, strengthening the cyber resilience of our organizations and implementing effective crisis management are essential. Adequate preparation and continuous adaptation of your strategy in response to risks can ensure your organization’s longevity and peace of mind.
  • To achieve these goals, let’s draw inspiration from recently updated best practices, such as the NIST CSF framework (2024), ISO 27000 standards (2022) and the BCI and DRI business continuity methodologies. Aiming for excellence while remaining pragmatic. From a global vision, let’s start with simple, progressive steps, adapting certain measures to the context of our Quebec organizations.
  • Practical experience is irreplaceable. We will analyze a crisis management plan for an SME subject to certain compliance requirements. We’ll explore key concepts such as major roles and responsibilities, crisis triggers, intervention protocols, communication mechanisms and lessons learned. You’ll also receive useful tools and references, often available free of charge.
