Ensign Cyber Dialogue: Borders & Breaches – Orchestrating Incident Response Across Jurisdictions
When cyberattacks cross borders, the stakes rise fast — and leadership must act before the damage spreads.
A single breach can ripple across markets, disrupting operations, exposing data, and drawing regulators into multiple jurisdictions. For boards, the challenge isn’t just speed, it’s orchestrating the right legal, operational, and communication responses under intense scrutiny.
In today’s environment of escalating ransomware and tightening regulation, incident response is no longer a technical issue. It’s an enterprise-level test of coordination, accountability, and trust.
In Episode 4 of Ensign Cyber Dialogue, “Borders & Breaches: Orchestrating Incident Response Across Jurisdictions,” Lim Minhan, Head of Consulting at Ensign InfoSecurity, shares hard-earned lessons from the frontlines of global incident response. He reveals how boards can align legal, IT, PR, and operational priorities to act decisively when every second counts.
What you’ll learn:
- Containment vs Continuity: How boards can balance the need to isolate threats quickly with the pressure to keep business running.
- The Ransomware Trap: Why conceding to ransom demands often backfires, fuelling further extortion and data exposure.
- Cross-Functional Crisis Coordination: How boards can empower a single decision-maker to align legal, PR, and operations in real time.
- Cyber Insurance as a Strategic Layer: How breach coaches bridge legal, PR, and technical teams during crisis response.
- Tabletop Exercises: Why boards must simulate ransomware scenarios to test decisions before the real crisis hits.
- Rapid Response in Real Time: Why global deployment capability and local expertise are critical when incidents span borders.
