Business Continuity

Thursday May 17

Led by Jasvinder Mahrra

Business continuity is an essential requirement in the event of any event or incident affecting the regular operation of your organisation.

With the scale and frequency of cyber attacks against businesses, understanding how to test your plans for business continuity is a necessary yet neglected aspect among many organisations.

Jasvinder Mahrra is an experienced practitioner of scenario exercises, and as part of the seminar, will deliver a table-top exercise that will raise awareness of planning, procedures and decision-making processes you’ll need to consider to ensure business continuity in the event of a cyber incident.

Jasvinder has a background in risk and resilience. Before joining ReSolve Cyber, Jas was both Head of Operations and a published Senior Research Fellow at a not-for-profit organisation based at University College London, focusing on security, resilience and strategy. Prior to this, she launched and ran a successful consultancy business for six years in the emerging market for resilience, delivering a range of services to local government, transnational corporations, major financial institutions and UK government.
