What do you do if your organization is hacked? The learnings of the North and East Gelderland Security Region

June 15, 2023

During this Vision Dinner, Edwin will extensively reflect on the large-scale cybersecurity attack on the VNOG. How could the attack have been prevented, what went right and what went wrong and what lessons have been learned from this crisis? Edwin shows how a crisis structure was used. This set-up guaranteed communication and cooperation with chain partners including mayors, ministries, fellow directors, the NCSC and the VR-ISAC. Are you curious about Edwin's learnings and would you like to hear about the experiences and challenges of the other participants?
