The National Company Emergency Response Teams (CERT) Seminar

Synopsis
The discipline of emergency response is often the start of several other "incident-related" plans within any organisation. These include business continuity, crisis management, crisis communication, IT disaster recovery and lately cybersecurity incidents. The speaker will share the overlapping roles and responsibilities that emergency management professionals will have to prepare themselves to coordinate effectively with other colleagues responding to the same incident and acquire the necessary competence to handle these complex set of inter-related responses.
