Incident response plays a central role in an organization’s ability to manage risk, limit damage, and recover quickly from cyber incidents. But building a strong IR capability requires more than documentation—it takes deliberate planning, continuous testing, and flexible tools that teams can use under pressure.

In this session, GuidePoint Security’s incident response and threat intelligence leaders will explore how organizations can assess, exercise and evolve their IR capabilities to improve readiness and reduce response time when incidents occur.

  • How IR maturity assessments help identify strategic and operational gaps
  • What makes tabletop exercises effective for team development and executive alignment
  • The importance of designing IR plans and playbooks as adaptable resources—not static checklists

Whether you lead a security team or oversee risk at the organizational level, this discussion will offer guidance on how to make incident response a functional, tested part of your cybersecurity strategy.

Hosted by Gary Brickhouse, CISO at GuidePoint Security, featuring:

  • Blake Cifelli, Senior Advisory Consultant
  • Bob Bell, Director of Forensic Services/DFIR
  • Mark Lance, Senior VP, DFIR & Threat Intelligence
  • Tony Cook, VP Innovation, Threat Intelligence
