Every day, cybercriminals flex and refine their tactics, finding new ways to infiltrate networks, compromise sensitive data and disrupt operations. Small businesses, multinational corporations and every organization in between are targets. And unfortunately, the financial toll is brutal. According to IBM, the average total cost of a data breach is $4.88 million

However, for many organizations, the cost of a breach isn't just financial; it's reputational and operational that leaves lasting scars on trust and productivity.

Despite this looming reality, too many businesses operate under the illusion of invincibility or fail to act until it’s too late. Reactive approaches to cybersecurity are a recipe for disaster. When a breach occurs, the clock is ticking. The difference between chaos and containment often comes down to one critical factor: preparation. Do you have the blueprint in place to respond swiftly and recover effectively?

That’s where the upcoming panel discussion at the Enterprise Cybersecurity Expo 2025 (taking place February 11-13 at the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida) comes in.

At "How to Create a Resilient Incident Response and Recovery Plan," set for 11:00-11:45 AM on Wednesday, February 12, join David Bousquet, senior manager of cybersecurity at CITY Furniture, and Mike Pedrick, vice president of cybersecurity consulting at PDI Technologies, as they unpack the essentials of a rock-solid incident response strategy.

This session will look into the critical components of incident response: detection, containment, eradication, recovery and lessons learned. Attendees will gain actionable insights into crafting, testing and refining an incident response plan that ensures their organizations are prepared to face the unpredictable.

This is a chance to learn from seasoned experts who’ve been in the trenches, battling threats and turning crises into recoveries.

Don’t leave your business vulnerable to chance. Attend this session and take the first step toward building a resilient cybersecurity framework. Because when it comes to cyberattacks, the question isn’t if, it’s when.
