This week Charlie conducted a cyber attack as the scenario in a response exercise. Here are some lessons learnt from conducting the exercise. 1. I don’t think you need to be an IT security expert to conduct a cyber attack exercise. The technical element of the exercise is done by IT, and if you are looking at the first 24 hours of an incident then you don’t have to be too specific about how the attack took place just about what the consequence of the attack was. 2.

I have been talking about doing a Business Impact Analysis (BIA), on the building manufacturing plants in the Philippines, where I am presently working.

Last weekend, the team working on the Philippines project I talked of last week, went off for the weekend to a resort island off the end of Cebu.

I feel that we can’t let this week’s bulletin go by without commenting on the death of Cecil the lion, which has dominated the news and the social media this week.
