When a cyber incident hits, what you say and how you say it can make all the difference. In this episode of The Cyber Series, we’re joined by Nicola Hudson, Partner at Brunswick and Global Lead for Cybersecurity, Data & Privacy, and Beth Maundrill, Editor at Infosecurity Magazine.

Together, we unpack why strong communication is vital during a crisis, common mistakes organisations make, and how to prepare your messaging strategy before an incident strikes. From leadership’s role to the risks and rewards of social media, this is essential listening for anyone involved in incident response.
