  SWHSP Presents:

  When Cyber Strikes: Communicating with Confidence

  Tuesday, October 13, 2026 | 1:00–4:00 PM
  In Person | Paul Davis Restoration
  W226 N918 Northmound Dr., Suite 100, Waukesha, WI

  About the Workshop

  A cyber incident is more than an IT problem—it can quickly become an organization-wide emergency.

  This interactive workshop will focus on organizational readiness for cyber incidents, using real-world case studies to explore how organizations have navigated incidents from initial response through recovery. Particular attention will be given to the critical role of internal and external communication, including how organizations coordinate, communicate with employees and partners, and manage information during a rapidly evolving incident.

  Through facilitated breakout discussions, attendees will have an opportunity to consider their own organization’s readiness, identify potential gaps, and share practices and lessons learned with other participants.

  Whether your cyber incident plans are well established or just getting started, this session will help you think beyond cybersecurity and IT—and consider the broader coordination, communication, continuity, and recovery actions needed when a cyber incident disrupts your organization.

  Who Should Attend?

  This workshop was designed with non-IT professionals in mind. While cybersecurity and IT partners are welcome, the focus is on the people who may be responsible for coordinating the organizational response, communicating with employees and leadership, sharing information with partners or the public, maintaining operations, and supporting recovery during a cyber incident.

  That includes professionals in:

  • Emergency Management & Business Continuity
  • Law Enforcement, Fire/EMS & Emergency Communications
  • Security, Safety, & Risk Management
  • Education & Healthcare
  • Utilities & Critical Infrastructure
  • Cybersecurity & Information Technology
  • Nongovernmental Organizations
  • Private-Sector Organizations

  You do not need to be a cybersecurity or IT professional to participate. The workshop is intended to bring together the broader range of people and organizations involved when a cyber incident becomes an organizational emergency.

  Space is limited — register today!
