From bombings to floods and fires, real-world emergencies often demand rapid, effective responses under pressure. These scenarios present lessons that can significantly benefit the cybersecurity incident response community. Matt Palmer will explore how a series of life-and-death crises inspired the Jersey Cyber Security Centre (JCSC) to align its approach with emergency management principles and practices from civil defence and emergency services. By examining parallels between physical and cyber incidents, he will share actionable steps that security teams can take to adopt these best practices, build collaboration, and improve outcomes.
