When a cyber crisis strikes, leaders face intense pressure to make rapid decisions that can determine the fate of their organizations.
In this episode, I sit down with Dan Potter, Senior Director of Operational Resilience at Immersive, to explore how leaders can effectively manage high-stakes cyber incidents. From major crises like MOVEit and Log4J to the evolving landscape of AI-driven threats, Dan shares practical insights on what businesses can learn from past events to strengthen their response strategies.
We discuss the key components of a well-structured decision-making framework, how to maintain strategic focus under pressure, and why trust and psychological safety within teams are essential during a crisis. Dan also walks us through a checklist for effective leadership before, during, and after a cyber event, emphasizing the importance of continuous, hands-on training to build organizational resilience.
With cyber threats becoming more sophisticated and unavoidable, organizations need more than just technical defenses—they need leaders who can navigate uncertainty and execute decisive action. Tune in to learn how to transform crisis management from a reactive scramble into a well-prepared, strategic response.
Are today's business leaders truly ready for the next cyber crisis? Let's find out.
