You may have a crisis comms plan ready to go – but how do you activate it if your organisation is targeted by a cyber-attack that shuts down your IT systems?
In 2024, the number of cyber-attack reports that the National Cyber Security Centre handled doubled, with 12 incidents deemed ‘highly severe’.
In one of the most high-profile incidents to date, in late April M&S fell victim to a coordinated ransomware attack that infiltrated third-party IT systems, encrypting servers and extracting sensitive customer data.
As with any crisis, there needs to be an immediate communications response.
Whether it is risk to life and property, or a catastrophic ransomware assault, senior leaders need to access, co-ordinate and manage the key information that employees, customers, partners and media are demanding.
But what if you lose access to your entire IT network?
