Agenda:

• 5:00 PM - 6:15 PM: Welcome & Ice Breakers
• 6:15 PM – 6:45 PM: Lightning Talk: The Art of Incident Response: Humans, Not Just Playbooks - Gabriela Corşatea
• Incident response is not just about tech and tools, it is about people. Gabriela will share real-world stories from healthcare ransomware incidents to challenging customer situations and highlight why skills like staying calm, showing empathy, and communicating clearly are crucial.
• Forget the blame game. Effective incident response is built on trust and teamwork. When you manage incidents, you are really managing people.

What You'll Learn

• How to approach incident response with a people-first mindset
• The role of empathy, calmness, and communication in managing crises
• Insights and lessons learned from real healthcare ransomware and customer incidents
• Practical ways to turn incident response into a team-building exercise rather than a blame game
• 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Networking

***Please note***:

**We will be sharing the venue with other tech communities bringing more opportunity for collaboration, but will also be able to have a space for our community too as well as the common networking areas.
