About this event
Welcome to the ACS L&D Masterclass Series – a new series of practical, expert-led sessions designed to help professionals further develop their skills and expand their knowledge.
Cybersecurity is rarely about one threat, one control or one technical decision. In this practical masterclass, participants will work through a realistic cyber incident and explore the key risks, decisions and actions involved as the situation unfolds. The session will show how areas such as security controls, detection, response and recovery connect in practice, and how organisations can learn from incidents to strengthen future resilience.

By attending this masterclass, participants will learn how to:
- identify key cyber risks and vulnerabilities within a realistic incident scenario;
- recognise the key decisions and actions required as a cyber incident unfolds;
- explain how security controls, detection, response and recovery work together in practice; and
- identify practical lessons from an incident that can help strengthen future cyber resilience.
