SUMMARY:Webinar | Behind the Tabletop: What a Hospital Ransomware Exercise Can Teach Us About SOC Readiness
DESCRIPTION:When ransomware hits a hospital\, the challenge extends far beyond IT: Who decides? Who coordinates? How does the SOC align clinical teams\, legal\, executives\, and communications as the crisis escalates? \nIn this WiCyS webinar\, industry experts take attendees behind the scenes of a real-world hospital tabletop exercise: \n\nKey Crisis Scenarios: Explores critical decision points\, escalating injects\, and multi-stakeholder dynamics from clinical impact to executive communication. What It Tests: Evaluates whether roles\, escalation paths\, operational continuity\, and cross-functional coordination hold up under real pressure.\nCore Takeaway: Demonstrates that tabletop exercises aren’t about perfect answers\, but testing if people\, processes\, and communication actually work when tested.\nAttendees will leave with practical insights to uncover preparedness gaps\, bridge the gap between the SOC and leadership\, and strengthen incident response readiness before a crisis occurs.\n\nWiCyS is proud to provide members the opportunity to earn CPE/CEU credits for attending WiCyS Webinars live.
