What should you say if you have a data breach? Catch up with Jason Nurse at Sophos Evolve

Dr Jason R.C. Nurse is an Associate Professor in Cyber Security at the University of Kent, and a Visiting Academic at the University of Oxford.

As part of the Sophos Evolve 2020 event, Jason joined Doug Aamoth, Sophos product marketing director, and Sara Eberle, senior director of public relations, to talk about his work.

There's a lot of focus on the technical response to a cyberattack, such and shoring up firewalls and improving endpoint protection, but when it comes to responding to a data breach, it's also important to consider what you say publicly, and how you say it.

Jason made it clear that putting the work in before a data breach occurs is crucial, but that many organizations overlook this preparatory stage.

It's worth preparing draft responses for the media, shareholders, and customers, so you're not scrambling for a statement if a breach occurs.

Make sure it's clear that you understand the real-world impacts of a breach, and that you're taking the breach seriously.
